MBrace: REPL-driven scalable computation with Eirik Tsarpalis
Details
MBrace (http://www.m-brace.net/) is an open source library for the .NET framework that lets you easily declare scalable and extensible distributed computations. Dubbed "Async for the Cloud", the core programming model uses F# computation expressions for composing and distributing code and data. Its client-side integration enables instant deployment of scalable computations directly from F# interactive in Visual Studio.
In this talk I will giving an introduction and overview of MBrace and its programming model. I will also be discussing the project itself, its architecture and future development directions. Join us to learn how can use MBrace to target your own cloud infrastructure, or how you could possibly contribute in the overall development of the project.
Eirik George Tsarpalis is a mathematician who's been a professional F# developer for the past 4 years. He's core developer and primary contributor to the MBrace project and has authored an assortment of open source tools including FsPickler (http://nessos.github.io/FsPickler/), Argu (http://nessos.github.io/Argu/), Vagabond (http://nessos.github.io/Vagabond/) and QuotationCompiler (https://github.com/eiriktsarpalis/QuotationCompiler).
Per usual doors open at 6:30pm, talk begins at 7:00pm. The meetup is at the 67th floor conference center.
