Large Scalability - Papers and implementations

In recent years the Googles and Amazons on this world have released papers on how to scale computing and processing to terrabytes of data. These publications have led to the implementation of various open source projects that benefit from that knowledge. However mapping the various open source projects to the original papers and assigning tasks that these projects solve is not always easy.

With no guarantee of completeness this lists provides a short mapping from open source project to publication.

There are further overviews available online as well as a set of slides from the NOSQL debrief.
