  1. Welcome cs294-8 Design of Deeply Networked Systems Spring 2000 David Culler & Randy Katz U.C. Berkeley http://www.cs/~culler/cs294-s00 http://www.cs/~randy/Courses/CS294.S00/

  2. Outline • Motivation for the Seminar • Today’s Technology Revolution • Emerging Application Paradigms • A Call to Architecture • Course Plan • Discussion

  3. Massive Cluster Clusters Gigabit Ethernet Server Scalable, Available Internet Services Client Info. appliances Away from the ‘average’ Device

  4. Personal Computer Workstation Server ?? Innovation: breakthrough technologies Integration: What we can build into a system Minicomputer Mainframe Technology as a Process Capability For deeply networked systems, system architecture currently lags technology Time

  5. Exciting components

  6. Historical Perspective • New eras of computing start when the previous era is so strong it is hard to imagine that things could ever be different • mainframe -> mini • mini -> workstation -> PC • PC -> ??? • It is always smaller than what came before. • Most think of the new technology as “just a toy” • The new dominant use was almost completely absent before. • Technology spread increases

  7. Historic Perspective (cont) • Technology discontinuities drive new computing paradigms, applications, system architectures • E.g., Xerox Alto • 3Ms--1 mips, 1 megapixel, 1 mbps • Fourth M: 1 megabyte of memory • From time sharing to LAN-connected client-server with display intensive applications • What will drive the next discontinuity? What are the new metrics of system capability? • This seminar: deeply networked systems • eXtreme Devices: the small, the large, the numerous

  8. Away from the “average device” • Powerful, personal capabilities from specialized devices • small, highly mobile or embedded in the environment • Intelligence + immense storage and processing in the infrastructure • Everything connected Devices Laptops, Desktops

  9.

  10. To Competition & Divergence Convergence, Competition, Divergence in Computing and Communications Atari Home Pong, 1972 Pentium PC, 1993 Network Computer, 1996 Free PC, 1999 Sega Dreamcast, 1999 Internet-enabled Smart Phones, 1999 Pentium II PC, 1997 Apple iMac, 1998 Palm VII PDA, 1999 Red Herring, 10/99

  11. Today’s Technology Revolution • Moore’s law => miniaturization, integration • PDAs, Embedded Servers, … , scalable systems • Communication • low power wireless, … , multigigabit links & switching • Sensors (on CMOS) • CCD, …, MEMS • enhanced through integrated image/signal processing • Localized Algorithms • Actuators • Positional, directional • GPS, signal processing • Alternative Energy Sources • ambient, harvesting, solar, battery

  12. Information Appliances: Many computers per person, MEMs, CCDs, LCDs, connectivity Information Appliances: Scaled down desktops, e.g., CarPC, PdaPC, etc. Revolution Evolution Evolved Desktops Servers: Integrated with comms infrastructure; Lots of computing in small footprint Servers: Scaled-up Desktops, Millennium Mem BANG!

  15. Industry Shifts • Implications of PCs as commodity • Increasingly narrow profit margins • Some Reactions: • Intel: recent strategic acquisitions focus on owning silicon for communications, networking, signal processing, multimedia PLUS network services • Sun: focus on infrastructure servers (clusters, RAID storage)--JAVA/JINI sells more server processing and storage • HP: focus on non-desktop “information appliances”, e.g., HP CapShare Portable E-copier
