South Bay Systems: Caching & Clustering

Welcome to another edition of South Bay Systems! This time we bring you two wonderful talks: Yao Yue will speak about her experiences working on Caching systems, and Eric Liang will talk about automatic data clustering. Agenda 6:00 PM: Doors open, food and socializing 6:30 PM — 6:35 PM: Introduction 6:35 PM — 7:05 PM: Caching Talk 7:05 PM — 7:35 PM: Clustering Talk 7:35 PM onward : Community socializing! Food and beverages will be provided, courtesy of our host, YugabyteDB. ​​Datacenter caching: A round trip to the ephemeral store As far as systems research goes, the solution is only as good as one’s understanding of the problem. By gathering and releasing real production traces, a small group of researchers and practitioners challenged the long-held belief about what caching strategies work best, and incorporated practical design considerations such as implementation complexity and production fitness. Not only did the resulting algorithms become widely adopted almost overnight, the data continue to fuel caching research in scenarios that extend far beyond the original environment…
