OneNet (now called Prajna) is a distributed functional programming platform being developed at Microsoft. As such, it has a lot of similarities to Apache Spark.
Both platforms are built using functional languages—F#, in the case of OneNet, and Scala in Spark—which are also the primary languages for developers using the platforms.
OneNet will have support for specializied computing devices, such as GPUs, from the outset which should provide more options when performing computationally expensive analyses.
