Because of its simple programming model, MapReduce has also begun being utilized as a programming tool for more general distributed and parallel HPC applications.=0AHowever, its applicability is often limited due to relatively inefficient runtime performance and hence insufficient support for flexible workflows. In particular, the performance problem is not negligible in iterative MapReduce applications.=0AWe implemented new MapReduce framework SSS based on distributed key-value store, that supports flexible workflows. Mappers and reducers read key-values only from its local storage enjoying high throughput and low latency. =0AWe evaluated SSS comparing with Hadoop using synthetic benchmark and real application. The result showed that SSS is significantly faster than Hadoop, especially for shuffle-intensive jobs and iterative jobs.
