REMINDER: Chris DeJong, an engineer at Google, will be making a presentation at the department's colloquium. Chris is also an alumnae of Calvin College.
Title: Warehouse Scale Computing
Abstract: Google's computing power sits in enormous warehouse-sized datacenters. But these are not simply buildings full of servers. Google looks at each of these datacenters as a warehouse-scale computer, or WSC. The talk will describe a WSC, its hardware and software, how a WSC is far more than simple, collocated collection of servers, and some of the trade-offs and challenges that computing at this scale presents. The talk will also touch on working at Google in a technical role, and leave time for questions.
*Note the change in date and location:
DATE: Thursday, October 1
LOCATION: Bytwerk Theater
TIME: 3:30 p.m.
There will be a meet-and-greet session, with refreshments, immediately following the colloquium.
