437 B

Style #30

Constraints:

  • Input data is divided in chunks, similar to what an inverse multiplexer does to input signals

  • A map function applies a given worker function to each chunk of data, potentially in parallel

  • A reduce function takes the results of the many worker functions and recombines them into a coherent output

Possible names:

  • Map-reduce
  • Inverse multiplexer (check out electronics)
