Abstract
Google is quite a bit more than a typical Internet company in that we
spend a significant effort architecting our computing infrastructure
for maximum efficiency. In this talk we will discuss some of the
challenges involved in handling failures and optimizing performance
for large-scale services, and how dealing with such issues requires a
broad range of expertise and the development of new, sophisticated
tools.
Host: Professor Michael Smith
