Timestamped data can be read in parallel by multiple grid-computing devices. The timestamped data, which can be partitioned into groups based on time series criteria, can be deterministically distributed across the multiple grid-computing devices based on the time series criteria. Each grid-computing device can sort and accumulate the timestamped data into a time series for each group it receives and then process the resultant time series based on a previously distributed script, which can be compiled at each grid-computing device, to generate output data. The grid-computing devices can write their output data in parallel. As a result, vast amounts of timestamped data can be easily analyzed across an easily expandable number of grid-computing devices with reduced computational expense.
