報(bào)告摘要 (Abstract)
My talk consists of two parts. The first part is a brief introduction and examples of interesting projects I have worked on during my career. The purpose of this introduction is to give you an idea of the kind of problems I like to take on.
In the second part, I will talk about the system trends that will be impacting Hyperscalers over the next 5+ years. I’ll be using Azure as an example, but these trends apply equally well to other hyperscalers. I will talk about a range of topics from business objectives to (industry) hardware trends and the associated software trends. My focus will be primarily on the opportunities and the challenges these trends create. I will discuss “solutions” where they exist but, in many cases, these are open problems where the outcome is still unclear.
