What is a recursive function? The way information flows through a program depends on how functions are connected together. For example, function A can call function B, which in turn calls function C, and so on. However, sometimes the situation arises when you need to perform one operation multiple times, and in those cases recursive […]

When G-Research was founded in 2001, the tools to perform large-scale data science were few and far between.  Fewer still were the number of open-source tools available to perform large-scale data science. At the time, it made perfect sense for G-Research to turn to the available 3rd-party technologies and in-house development to fill the gap. […]

We’ve scaled our cluster over […]
