With the advent of cloud platforms and private data centers, developers face once more the challenges of distributed computing in their effort to harness the available computing power. Concurrency, message passing, elasticity and machine failure are now common situations that the developer has to take into account while developing code needed to perform big computations, to operate on big data or both. Despite the fact that several frameworks have surfaced that make things easier, practice has proven that they can be effective for certain algorithms but less-than-ideal for others. This talk will focus on {m}brace, an emerging cloud framework which is based on the power of F#. The main idea and the principles behind it will be presented, along with various code examples and demos where one can see for himself the development experience that {m}brace offers.
