Running Distributed Computing Jobs on Jupyter Notebooks

Jupyter Notebooks

Jupyter notebooks are a popular tool for data scientists and researchers to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. They are an incredibly powerful tool for interactively developing and presenting data science projects. Jupyter notebooks can be used for various use cases such as data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, data visualization, machine learning, and more. They allow you to easily share your work with others by exporting your notebook as a PDF or HTML file. Jupyter notebooks also have a large community of users who have contributed many libraries and extensions that can be used to enhance workflows.

Distributed Computing

Distributed computing technology refers to a system where multiple computers work together to solve a problem. It allows for parallel processing of data across multiple machines, which can lead to faster processing times. Distributed computing technology has become increasingly popular due to the rise of big data. It allows for the processing of large amounts of data that would be too large for a single machine to handle. Some examples of distributed computing technologies include Apache Hadoop, Apache Spark, and Apache Flink.

Jupyter notebooks are an extremely popular tool for data scientists, analysts, and engineers alike to experiment with Distributed Computing before investing in productionizing. Kaspian securely hosts a performant and configurable JupyterHub instance, perfect for data teams who want to work with Distributed Computing without wasting time setting up or managing the associated notebooking or compute infrastructure.
