Partitioning data for parallel processing

A system for partitioning data for parallel processing comprising:

• one or more computer systems with at least one processor configured to:
• partition data of a data object into a plurality of data partitions within a data structure based on a plurality of keys, wherein the data structure includes a plurality of dimensions and each key is associated with a corresponding different dimension of the data structure;
• assign portions of the data structure representing different data partitions to the computer systems for parallel processing;
• and
• process the assigned data structure portions in parallel to perform an operation.

• a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising computer readable program code configured to:
• partition data of a data object into a plurality of data partitions within a data structure based on a plurality of keys, wherein the data structure includes a plurality of dimensions and each key is associated with a corresponding different dimension of the data structure;
• assign portions of the data structure representing different data partitions to a plurality of processing entities;
• and
• process the assigned data structure portions in parallel to perform an operation.
