Posted by Brad Chen, Technical Lead/ManagerAs part of our series on research areas of interest to Google, we discuss some important areas relating to cluster applications in distributed systems. In the last two decades distributed systems have undergone a metamorphosis from academic curiosities to the foundation of an entire industry. Despite these successes, at Google we see distributed systems as a technology in its infancy, with huge gaps in the supporting research (some examples here and here) that represent some of the most important problems...

Posted by Joseph L. Hellerstein, Manager of Google Performance AnalyticsGoogle faces a large number of technical challenges in the evolution of its applications and infrastructure. In particular, as we increase the size of our compute clusters and scale the work that they process, many issues arise in how to schedule the diversity of work that runs on Google systems.We have distilled these challenges into the following research topics that we feel are interesting to the academic community and important to Google:Workload characterizations: How...
