Yahoo will give four universities access to its cloud-computing cluster for data-intense research on a variety of topics.

The company announced Thursday that it would work with the University of California at Berkeley, Cornell University, the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and Carnegie Mellon University on new applications to analyze Internet-scale data sets and other large-scale systems software research.
