There is a clear need for efficient data processing for a large number of applications in several areas (e.g., network analytics and visualization, credit card fraud detection, etc.). For this purpose, there are several big-data platforms (BGPATs) that are instrumental for the success of such applications. For example, Spark (a multi-threaded map-reduce engine), Cassandra (a no-sql distributed database) and Neo4j (a graph database), among many others, can support applications that manipulate a huge amount of data. Given this scenario, it is fundamental to provide the best support for such BGPATs (as the above mentioned), improving the performance, reliability, and availability of applications running on top. Thus, the goal of this project is to develop a Java Virtual Machine (JVM), called novaVM, with the distinctive feature of being more efficient and scalable than others regarding Big-Data applications with a focus on replication/migration and memory management.
