| Dryad: A general-purpose distributed execution platform |

Google Tech Talks
November, 1 2007
ABSTRACT
Web search has generated the need and
economic support for a new class of
data-intensive supercomputing applications.
Several computing platforms have been created
to support this need: the first described in
the literature is Google's MapReduce. I will
describe the architecture of the Dryad system
developed at Microsoft Research, and explain
some of our design choices. Dryad allows more
general computations than MapReduce, and has
consequently been used as a middleware
abstraction on which higher-level programming
models can be implemented. I will also
briefly discuss some of these.
Speaker: Michael Isard
Michael Isard started out as a computer
vision researcher, but has gradually been
lured into systems research by his
colleagues, first at DEC/Compaq SRC and now
at Microsoft Research Silicon Valley. He was
closely involved in the design and
implementation of the first version of
Microsoft's in-house search engine, and his
systems research subsequently has
concentrated on programming models for
parallel and distributed computing.
