Introducing Project Naiad and Differential Dataflow

Naiad, now available for download, is an investigation of data-parallel dataflow computation in the spirit of Dryad and DryadLINQ, but with a focus on incremental computation. Naiad introduces a new computational model, differential dataflow, operating over collections of differences rather than collections of records, and resulting in very efficient implementations of programming patterns that are expensive in existing systems.
