Objectives
Basic Skills * Knowledge and understanding that provide a basis or opportunity for originality in developing and / or applying ideas, often in a research context * That the students can apply the broader (or multidisciplinary) acquired knowledge and ability to solve problems in new or unfamiliar environments within contexts related to their field of study * Students must possess the learning skills that enable them to continue studying in a way that will be largely self-directed or autonomous. General Competencies * Apply the theoretical underpinnings of the techniques for the high-performance processing of large volumes of data as a basis for the development and adaptation of such techniques to specific problems * Identify different techniques and paradigms for processing large amounts of data, and differentiate them according to their theoretical and practical features * Use skills for teamwork and getting along with other independently Specific Skills * Apply basic knowledge of big data programming techniques using advanced technologies and methods for treating large volumes of data * Identify opportunities that data processing techniques can make to the improvement of the activity of enterprises and organizations * Provide basic and fundamental knowledge of big data processing frameworks * Identify and select suitable frameworks and software tools for the treatment of large amounts of data * Making efficient use of distributed platforms for high-performance data processing Learning Results * Manage the basics of big data processing frameworks. * Ability to use high-performance architectures and technologies for large volumes of data. * Knowledge of design techniques and application development of high-performance big data computing. * Skills to analyze and model the most appropriate frameworks for each problem, adapting to the specifications of individual cases
