ZDNet UKの Google Urs Hölzle博士, Google Fellow, Senior Vice President of
Operationsとのインタビュー記事です：
"Google: 'At scale, everything breaks'"
22 June, 2011, ZDNet UK
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/cloud/2011/06/22/google-at-scale-everything-breaks-40093061/
http://www.zdnet.co.uk/news/cloud/2011/06/22/google-at-scale-everything-breaks-40093061/2/
.....
Q:"What are Google's plans for the evolution of its internal
software tools?"
Urs Hölzle: "There's obviously an evolution. For example, most
applications don't use [Google File System (GFS)] today. In fact,
we're phasing out GFS in favour of the next-generation file system
that is very similar, but it's not GFS anymore. It scales better and
has better latency properties as well. I think three years from now
we'll try to retire that because flash memory is coming and faster
networks and faster CPUs are on the way and that will change
how we want to do things"

"Enter OpenFlow. The announcement of OpenFlow has some people in
networking optimistic that we are about to see a significant
change in innovation and progress on network management. OpenFlow
is a nascent networking specification that has three key elements:
a software controller, the OpenFlow protocol and a client on the
network device. It's important to comprehend that all three elements
combine to create a single coherent solution."

"Comparing archival policies for BlueWaters"
Mathias Jacquelin, INRIA/ENS Lyon
https://wiki.ncsa.illinois.edu/display/jointlab/Workshop+Program#WorkshopProgram-JacquelinA
https://wiki.ncsa.illinois.edu/download/attachments/17630761/INRIA-UIUC-WS4-mjacquelin.pdf
"In this work, we introduce two archival policies tailored for the
tape storage system that will be available on BlueWaters. We also
show how to adapt the well known RAIT strategy (the counterpart of
RAID policy for tapes) for BlueWaters."
※Tape Related Hardware
Tapes [約 500000本]: Each tape stores up to 1TB of uncompressed data
Tape Drives [約 500台]
Tape Libraries [約 3台]
Mover Nodes [約 50台]
※RAIT: Redundant Array of Independent Tapes

Date: Wed, 23 Jun 2010 23:18:10 +0900
------------------------------------------------
US DOD DARPAがまた新しい HPCプロジェクトの公募を開始しました。
現在進行中の High Productivity Computer Systems (HPCS) は 2010年度
までなので、後継として、Ubiquitous High Performance Computing (UHPC)
が現在公募されていますが、新規追加の HPCプロジェクトです。
※UHPCについての日本語での解説 (RFIが公開された直後の 2009/07/15)
URLを載せておきます。
新プロジェクトは、Omnipresent High Performance Computing (OHPC) で、
Ubiquitousから Omnipresentで「何に？」って感じですが 引用するように、
OHPCは UHPC実現を加速化する研究メインのものです (期間は 3年間)。
※3年後に、似たような名称のプロジェクトが公募されるかもしれませんね。
