Know when to fold 'em: visualizing the streaming, concurrent reduce
Holy cow! Can you believe your luck? What better way to spend some portion of whatever day of the week it is than to think about parallelizing reduction algorithms?
Really? You can't think of one? In that case, I'll kick off our inevitable friendship by contributing a clojure
implementation of a fancy algorithm that asynchronously reduces arbitrary input streams while
preserving order. Then I'll scare you with glimpses of my obsessive quest to visualize what this
algorithm is actually doing; if you hang around, I'll show you what I eventually cobbled together
with clojurescript and reagent. (Hint. It's an ANIMATION …
