Papers we love: Zürich: Naiad: A Timely Dataflow System
Datum/Zeit: 23. März 2017 18:30 - 20:30
Ort:
ETH Zurich / Zentrum / CAB H 52, Universitätstrasse 6, Zürich
I'm very excited for the first meetup of PWL: Zürich!
Andrea Lattuada will tell us all about Naiad: A Timely Dataflow System by Derek G. Murray, Frank McSherry, Rebecca Isaacs, Michael Isard, Paul Barham, and Martín Abadi.
This paper proposes a very powerful computational model for dataflow programming designed to minimise unnecessary synchronisation. The idea is to have a system that can be the foundation for various data-processing frameworks that can interoperate. There is an open-source implementation in rust (https://github.com/frankmcsherry/timely-dataflow) by one of the authors. It was awarded a best paper award at SOSP 2013.
Please RSVP, so that we have an idea of what to expect.
