From "Think Like a Vertex" to "Think Like a Graph"

To meet the challenge of processing rapidly growing graph and network data created by modern applications, a number of distributed graph processing systems have emerged, such as Pregel and GraphLab. All these systems divide input graphs into partitions, and employ a “think like a vertex” programming model to support iterative graph computation. This vertex-centric model is easy to program and h...

Think Like a Rat

Since 1971 when the results of single electrode recordings of neurons with “place fields” were first documented, scientists have produced an enormous body of research in an attempt to understand these small but significant components of the rat brain. This research has confirmed that after a rat has gained familiarity with a simple test environment, a neuron will respond strongly and selectivel...

Think like a bacterium

Introduction We must, albeit reluctantly, dismiss the naive but comforting myth of the bacterial cell as a simple loner: a self-contained bag of uncompartmentalized enzymes, so exquisitely uncomplicated as to be understood outright and considered passé in this new millennium—a biological beaker for examining the more complicated eukaryotic versions of life. The recent EURESCO Conference on Bact...

Why did we think we dreamed in black and white?

In the 1950s, dream researchers commonly thought that dreams were predominantly a black and white phenomenon, although both earlier and later treatments of dreaming assume or assert that dreams have color. The first half of the twentieth century saw the rise of black and white film media, and it is likely that the emergence of the view that dreams are black and white was connected to this chang...
