内容简介：
Complex analytics of the vast amount of data collected via social media, cell phones, ubiquitous smart sensors, and satellites is likely to be the biggest economic driver for the IT industry over the next decade. For many ``Big Data'' applications, the limiting factor in performance is often the transportation of large amount of data from hard disks to where it can be processed, i.e. DRAM. We will present BlueDBM, an architecture for a scalable distributed flash store which is designed to overcome this limitation in two ways. First, the architecture provides a high-performance, high-capacity, scalable random-access storage. It achieves high-throughput by sharing large numbers of flash chips across a low-latency, chip-to-chip backplane network managed by the flash controllers. Second, it permits some computation near the data via a FPGA-based programmable flash controller. We will present the preliminary results on accelerating complex queries using BlueDBM consisting of 20 nodes and up to 32 TB of flash.
教授简介：
Arvind is the Johnson Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at MIT. Arvind’s group, in collaboration with Motorola, built the Monsoon dataflow machines and its associated software in the late eighties. In 2000, Arvind started Sandburst which was sold to Broadcom in 2006. In 2003, Arvind co-founded Bluespec Inc., an EDA company to produce a set of tools for high-level synthesis. In 2001, Dr. R. S. Nikhil and Arvind published the book "Implicit parallel programming in pH". Arvind's current research focus is on enabling rapid development of embedded systems.
Arvind is a Fellow of IEEE and ACM, and a member of the National Academy of Engineering and the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
Arvind教授是麻省理工学院计算机科学与工程约翰逊讲席教授。上世纪80年代，Arvind教授带领团队与摩托罗拉公司合作，构建了“季风”数据流机并开发了相关软件。2000年，Arvind教授创立了网络交换设备公司Sandburst，2006年公司被Broadcom并购。2003年，Arvind教授与他人合作创立Bluspec公司，开发、维护并经营著名的Bluespec系列工具软件，用于高层电子系统的设计综合。Arvind教授目前的研究兴趣集中在嵌入式系统快速开发的使能技术。
Arvind教授是美国艺术与科学院院士、美国国家工程院院士，ACM Fellow，IEEE Fellow。
