  1. IBM / UCB EECS Collaboration MeetingMay 11, 1999 David E. Culler Computer Science Division U.C. Berkeley

  2. Meeting Plan • Where we’ve been • Background on IBM / UCB collaborations (Culler) • Where we’re going • Universal Computing @ Berkeley (Culler) • Endeavor Expedition to the 21st Century (Katz) • Ninja Platform Architecture (Joseph) • Demo - novel service concepts • Future Storage Architectures (Patterson) • Future Digital Libraries (Wilensky) • Future HCI (Landay) • Demo - novel interfaces • How we’re going to get there • Lunch • Decisions intro

  3. IBM/UCB CS Relationship • < 1992 • IBM fellowships were major draw • 93 - current • relationship structured around SUR grant and executive liaison • simple flow of RS6000s & SPs into rest of campus • CS has broken the mold almost every year • Successful collaborations • SUR provided forcing function and opportunity • Several UCB interns at IBM • > 1999 • How can we amplify each other’s success through major initiatives? intro

  4. Brief SUR History • 1993 • SP-1 to Castle (Culler, Demmel, Yelick) • RS6000s to ME (Bogy), RS6000s to Chem (Miller) AM, Split-C => 1998 PSSP 2.3 Product - LAPI Missed Opportunity: NOW • 1994 • RS6000/590s to Castle/NOW (Demmel, Culler, Yelick) • RS6000s: Lasers (Sheng), RS6000: Comp. Chem (Miller) ScaLapack => ESSL, PhiPack • 1995 • Tape Robot: Digital Library (Wilensky) • RS6000s: ME (Bogy) intro

  5. SUR History (cont) • 1996 • Many raw Disks: Tertiary disk project (Patterson) • Museum of Fine Arts • RS6000s: Chem Eng. (Chandler) • 1997 • Disk towers: Millennium (CS, Astro/Phys, Civil, ...) • G30 SMP: (Yelick, Demmel) • RS6000s: ME, Chem • 1998 • SP2: Chem (Head-Miller) • 150 WorkPads: EECS PostPC • Disk Tower Supplement: Dlib/DataBase Cluster (Wilensky,Hellerstein) => Almaden looking at wireless infra. intro

  6. SUR 1999: Leave the desk behind • Servers • host production Ninja Services • Mobile pads • smallest fully networked device to break the tethers • Emdedded Displays • touch sensitive LCD mounted in the walls • Cross Pads • extend the NotPals experience • Vision Pads • change the mode of interaction intro

  7. Research Collaborations • Scalable Systems (Culler - Snir, ...) • Numerical Techniques (Demmel - Gustafson, ...) • Programming Lang. (Yelick, Aiken - ??) • Service Support (Joseph - Leiman, ...) • Mobile Computing (Katz - Krishna) • Database Theory (Papad. - Raghavan, ...) • Database (Hellerstein - Carey, Haas, ...) • Storage Systems (Patterson - ??) • Digital Libraries (Wilensky - ??) • Social Networks (Canny - ??) intro

  8. Universal Computing @ Berkeley intro

  9. Natural Tides of Innovation Innovation ?? Integration Personal Computer Workstation Server Log R Minicomputer Mainframe 2/99 Time intro

  10. 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 intro

  11. universal Function: adjective 1 : including or covering all or a whole collectively or distributively without limit or exception 2 a : present or occurring everywhere b : existent or operative everywhere or under all conditions <universal cultural patterns> 3 a : embracing a major part or the greatest portion (as of mankind) <a universal state> <universal practices> b : comprehensively broad and versatile <a universal genius> 4 a : affirming or denying something of all members of a class or of all values of a variable b : denoting every member of a class <a universal term> 5 : adapted or adjustable to meet varied requirements (as of use, shape, or size) intro

  12. 1. covering all without limit • Internet-Scale Systems Research Group (ISRG) • MASH / BARWAN / MINT • Distributed Interactive Services, mobile networks, SRM, NW simulation • NINJA • Platform Architecture for Scalable, Customizable Internet Services • Iceberg • Computer / Telephony Integration • Millennium • Vast Inter-Cluster Testbed • Digital Libraries Billions of Apliances 100 Million Wired Million Scalable Servers intro

  13. Massive Cluster Clusters Gigabit Ethernet Servers Desktop PCs Wireless Infrastructure Future Devices Cell Phones PDAs Millennium Testbed • Large-scale testbed (1000 proc, 12 M$) • Cluster of clusters across campus with high-speed network • Extended into the workspaces • Ninja architecture allows developers to “Push Services into the Infrastructure” intro

  14. Core Questions • How to make it easy to author services that can provide value to a large fraction of the world? • inktomi serves 20 million users per day! • Preserve distributed innovation in a service-centric world • Ninja: • structured architecture • push services into the infrastructure • composition of services • Design principles of systems at world-wide scale? intro

  15. 2: present or occurring everywhere • The Ubiquitous, Pervasive connotation • Small devices + protocols are enablers • everyone is building information appliances • What is the overall architecture that incorporates these billions of devices? • How are they programmed? • Deeply embedded spontaneous networking. • How do they take on a role in the context of their environment? • How are they managed? • How does authentication, security operate? • Manual override? Crisis? • How do we interact with a computationally rich environment? intro

  16. Wide-Area Path Directions • Universal Access to Storage as Fundamental Simplifier • Endeavor Oceanic Store (Katz, Kubiatowitz) • Massive Storage Systems (Patterson) • Build services that extend down into devices (Ninja) • Keep the hardwork in the infrastructure • Service delivered on a path of proxies • Construct paths automatically • Join with TelCo from the start (Iceberg) • Resource Mgmt via Comp. Economies • Negotiation Architecture (Endeavor) • Wildest imagination devices (BSAC) intro

  17. 3. embracing a major part of mankind • not just building world-wide services • not just connecting every device • What fundamentally are the new modes of interaction? • Novel user interfaces • very small formats, very large formats, non-WIMPS • Bridging human differences • Integrated personal and collaborative environments • Harnessing Tacit Information intro

  18. 5. adapted oradjustable to meet varied requirements • Need to write a “program” today that will provide a valuable function to millions of people in execution evironments that don’t yet exist - or haven’t yet been conceived. • Need fundamentally fluid software • adapts to the structure of its environment • Any size, any shape intro

  19. Today’s Plan • DARPA Endeavor (Katz) • framework for overall effort and industry collaboration • Ninja / Iceberg / Millennium (Joseph) • novel, scalable services • Storage Architectures (Patterson) • Digital Libraries (Wilensky) • HCI (Landay) • DISCUSS and DECIDE intro
