MapReduce
mapreduce is a programming technique which is suitable
for analyzing large data sets that otherwise cannot fit in your computer’s
memory. Using a datastore to process the data in small
chunks, the technique is composed of a Map phase, which formats the data or
performs a precursory calculation, and a Reduce phase, which aggregates all
of the results from the Map phase. For more information, see Getting Started with MapReduce.

mapreduce, see Speed Up and Deploy MapReduce Using Other Products.

Compute Maximum Average HSV of Images with MapReduce
This example shows how to use ImageDatastore and mapreduce to find images with maximum hue, saturation and brightness values in an image collection.
Troubleshooting
This example shows how to debug your mapreduce algorithms
in MATLAB® using a simple example file, MaxMapReduceExample.m.
Debugging enables you to follow the movement of data between the different
phases of mapreduce execution and inspect the
state of all intermediate variables.
