A Computing System for the World's Information: A Look Behind the Scenes at Google
Jeff Dean




When collecting, indexing, and organizing large amounts of information using thousands of unreliable computers, one quickly discovers that the right software infrastructure can make all the difference. In this talk, we'll discuss our underlying computing hardware, and the design principles and implementations of GFS, MapReduce and BigTable, three internal systems that are used at Google for a wide variety of purposes.
