[san-tech][03181] NetApp Mercury: host-side flash caching for the datacenterへのコメント, The Register, 2011/06/17

Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2011 08:30:31 +0900
------------------------------------------------
The Registerで、FAST '11のポスターセッションで発表された NetAppの
Project Mercuryについてコメントしています:

"Welcome to the server flash cache sofa"
 17th June 2011
  http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/06/17/netapp_project_mercury/

  "Comment NetApp is involved with storage array management of
   flash caches in app servers - witness its Project Mercury
   presentation at the FAST '11 conference at San Jose in February."
.....
  "The idea was to link a flash cache in the server to a shared,
   centrally-managed storage array so that virtual machines (VMs)
   and their storage could be moved between physical servers in
   a shared-pool datacentre without losing any I/O speed-up
   benefits from having a local flash cache."

最後の一節
  "As a final note - OpSIS will be important not just for innovation,
   but for education. In order to develop a new industry, we need to
   develop a new generation of engineers. OpSIS will provide university
   students with the ability to build their own silicon photonics
   experiments - a necessary capability that doesn't exist today.
   These students of today will become the innovators and leaders of
   tomorrow that grow this nascent industry into one that touches
   people's lives in ways we can't even predict today. This is an
   exciting time for silicon photonics and the potential impact it will
   have to everyone's lives."

Data Center TCP
  http://www.stanford.edu/~alizade/Site/DCTCP.html

Overview
  "DCTCP is an enhancement to the TCP congestion control algorithm
   for data center networks. It leverages Explicit Congestion
   Notification (ECN), a feature which is increasingly becoming
   available in modern data center switches. DCTCP sources extract
   multi-bit feedback on congestion from the single-bit stream of
   ECN marks by estimating the fraction of marked packets. In doing so,
   DCTCP sources react to the extent of congestion, not just the
   presence of congestion as in TCP.  This finer level of control
   allows DCTCP to operate with very low buffer occupancies while
   simultaneously achieving high throughput.

  "today announced a US$38M investment in a new IBM Asia Pacific Cloud
   Computing Data Centre in Singapore, which will provide businesses
   with solutions and services to harness the potential of cloud
   computing. The new facility will extend IBM's globally-integrated
   cloud delivery network with centres in Germany, Canada and the
   United States; and 13 global cloud labs, of which seven are based
   in Asia Pacific - China, India, Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam

  "Most data centers operate in a temperature range between 68 and
   72 degrees Fahrenheit, and some are as cold as 55 degrees. Raising
   the baseline temperature inside the data center - known as a set
   point - can save money by reducing the amount of energy used for
   air conditioning. It’s been estimated that data center managers
   can save 4 percent in energy costs for every degree of upward
   change in the set point. The list of companies singing the praises
   of savings through higher baseline temperature settings in the data
   center includes Google, Intel, Sun and HP."

"Green IT: Helping to Create a Sustainable Planet"
 Guest Editor's Introduction - San Murugesan - May 2011
  http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/archive/may2011

  "As the world's climate heats up and more people become concerned
   about the environment, a new spotlight appears on information technology.
   IT affects our environment in many ways, but most people — including
   many IT professionals — don't realize this. Each stage of a computer's
   life, from production and use to disposal, presents environmental
   challenges. As businesses and governments try to balance growth with
   environmental risks, we're called upon to make IT systems and their use
   greener and, more importantly, to apply IT in innovative ways to address
   environmental problems.”

Market Enticing for New Entrants Despite NetLogic's Dominance

  "Search coprocessors are used in routers, switches, and network
   appliances to classify data, apply security policies, and determine
   where to send each packet. A search coprocessor can be developed
   using algorithms and memory, TCAMs (ternary content addressable
   memory), or a combination of the two. Cisco was the first major
   OEM to adopt merchant search coprocessors. Since then,
   search-coprocessor functions have evolved from TCAMs to become
   hybrid devices that support both TCAM lookups and algorithmic
   searches."

  "The 400-year-old mystery of whether William Shakespeare was
   the author of an unattributed play about Edward III may have been
   solved by a computer program designed to detect plagiarism."

  "Sir Brian Vickers, an authority on Shakespeare at the Institute of
   English Studies at the University of London, believes that a comparison
   of phrases used in The Reign of King Edward III with Shakespeare’s
   early works proves conclusively that the Bard wrote the play in
   collaboration with Thomas Kyd, one of the most popular playwrights
   of his day."

ABSTRACT
"The goal of this paper is to answer questions such as the follow-
 ing: How common are memory errors in practice? What are their
 statistical properties? How are they affected by external factors,
 such as temperature and utilization, and by chip-specific factors,
 such as chip density, memory technology and DIMM age?"
