SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ACCELERATING MAPREDUCE OPERATION

Provided are a system and method for accelerating a mapreduce operation. The system for accelerating a mapreduce operation includes at least one map node configured to perform a map operation in response to a map operation request of a master node, and at least one reduce node configured to perform a reduce operation using result data of the map operation. The map node includes at least one map operation accelerator configured to generate a data stream by merging a plurality of data blocks generated as results of the map operation and establish a transmission channel for transmission of the data stream, and the reduce node includes at least one reduce operation accelerator configured to receive the data stream from the map operation accelerator through the transmission channel, recover the plurality of data blocks from the received data stream, and provide the recovered data blocks for the reduce operation.
