| Description | This class provides 3 perspectives that are highly relevant to Taiwan's industry:
According to [Dean & Ghemawat]1 in CACM 2008, Google processed over 400 PB of data on datacenters composed of thousands of machines in September 2007 alone. What challenges emerge when computing on such a scale? Users need simple and expressive parallel programming models. On the systems side, these models need to allow for scalable and fault-tolerant implementation on commodity computers. We will describe ways in which these challenges can be addressed. Programming assignments will be given. After the coverage on the cloud computing above, we will talk about Android as an example of mobile platforms. finally, we will discuss how cloud computing and mobile platforms amplify each other. |
