The Landscape of Parallel Computing Research: A View from Berkeley

  • What sort of applications can you expect to run on distributed OS/parallize?
  • How do you scale up
  • We can't rely on processor improvements to provide speed-ups
  • The proposed computational models that need more processor power don't really apply to regular
  • Users would see the advances with games primarily
  • More reliance in cloud computing in recent years
