Abstract
An apparatus in one embodiment comprises at least one processing device having a processor coupled to a memory. The processing device is configured to receive results of intermediate statistical computations performed on respective ones of a plurality of datasets in respective ones of a plurality of distributed processing nodes configured to communicate over at least one network. The processing device is further configured to perform at least one global statistical computation based at least in part on the results of the intermediate statistical computations, and to utilize a result of the global statistical computation to perform one or more benchmarking operations for specified parameters relating to the plurality of datasets. The distributed processing nodes are associated with respective distinct data zones in which the respective datasets are locally accessible to the respective distributed processing nodes. At least a subset of the receiving, performing and utilizing are repeated in each of a plurality of iterations.
