----------------------------------------------------------------
I was wondering, it seems
[ArrayFire|http://www.arrayfire.com/docs/group__arrayfire__func.htm] already
parallelized a number of mathematical/reductor functions for C(++) arrays. If
Spark RDDS/DataFrames expose some array interface for columns, might it be
possible to use those through JNI? Not sure there'd be tangible performance
gains without using APUs, but seemed interesting to me.
