But another reason for Google's success is that they have learned how to take advantage of large clusters of computers, much better and faster than their rivals. A key component to this success is something known as MapReduce, which allows Google's engineers to define a problem in such a way that it is broken up, allocated to a large number of computers for processing, reassembled, and then used.
