Existing programming models for distributed and cloud-based systems tend to abstract away from the architectures of individual target nodes, concentrating instead on higher- level issues of algorithm representation (MapReduce etc.). However, as programmers begin to tackle the issue of Big Data, increasing data volumes are forcing developers to re- consider this approach and to optimise their software heavily. JUNIPER is an EU-funded project which assists Big Data developers to create architecture-aware software in a way that is suitable for the target domain, and provides higher performance, portability, and real-time guarantees.
