Matrix multiplication of big data using MapReduce: A review

One popular application for big data is matrix multiplication, which has been solved using many approaches. Recently, researchers have applied MapReduce as a new approach to solve this problem. In this paper, we provide a review for matrix multiplication of big data using MapReduce. This review includes the techniques for solving matrix multiplication using MapReduce, the time-complexity and the number of mappers needed for each technique. Moreover, this review provides the number of articles published between the year 2010 and 2016 for each of the following three topics: Big Data, Matrix Multiplication, and MapReduce.
