This talk explores the concept of scalability in computing, discussing the growth potential of SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processing) systems and cluster computing. It covers the increasing number of clients and the need for millions of servers to support them. The talk also touches on the advancements in hardware and software that have contributed to the development of scalable systems.
