SUMMARY:Rethinking the Stack for Distributed Runtime Systems - Tim Haris (
 Oracle Labs) 
DTSTART:20130327T130000Z

UID:TALK44035@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Eiko Yoneki
DESCRIPTION:Cluster computing is becoming increasingly important because t
 he size of workloads continues to grow faster than the size of individual 
 machines.  In this talk I will argue that:\n\n* The resource demands of em
 erging workloads (e.g.\, distributyed\n  Graph analytics) look different f
 rom software traditionally\n  deployed on clusters (HPC and distributed/re
 plicated servers).\n\n* With jobs spanning multiple machines\, no individu
 al system is in\n  control of traditional OS functions such as scheduling 
 and resource\n  management.  This leads to poor interactions (e.g.\, where
 \n  cluster-wide scheduling of jobs to machines is unaware of the exact\n 
  load on individual machines) and wasted resources (e.g.\, if machines\n  
 or VMs are statically assigned\, but resources go unused).\n\nI will descr
 ibe some of the trends I am seeing\, and research directions I am explorin
 g in the design of distributed runtime systems.  This is an informal work-
 in-progress talk - feedback very welcome.\n
