Introduction: Scalability Perspectives is a series of posts that highlights the ideas that will shape the next decade of IT architecture. Each post is dedicated to a thought leader of the information age and his vision of the future. Be warned though – the journey into the minds and perspectives of these people requires an open mind. Nicholas Carr A former executive editor of the Harvard Business Review, Nicholas Carr writes and speaks on technology, business, and culture. His provocative 2004 book Does IT Matter? set off a worldwide debate about the role of computers in business. The Big Switch – Rewiring the World, From Edison to Google Carr's core insight is that the development of the computer and the Internet remarkably parallels that of the last radically disruptive technology, electricity. He traces the rapid morphing of electrification from an in-house competitive advantage to a ubiquitous utility, and how the business advantage rapidly shifted from the innovators and early adop

Introduction: This is an excerpt from my article Building Super Scalable Systems: Blade Runner Meets Autonomic Computing in the Ambient Cloud. If datacenters are the new castles, then what will be the new gunpowder? As soon as gunpowder came on the scene, castles, which are defensive structures, quickly became the future's cold, drafty hotels. Gunpowder fueled cannon balls make short work of castle walls. There's a long history of "gunpowder" type inventions in the tech industry. PCs took out the timeshare model. The cloud is taking out the PC model. There must be something that will take out the cloud. Right now it's hard to believe the cloud will one day be no more. They seem so much the future, but something will transcend the cloud. We even have a law that says so: Bell's Law of Computer Classes which holds that roughly every decade a new, lower priced computer class forms based on a new programming platform, network, and interface resulting in new usage and the establishment of

Introduction: Making the world's knowledge computable Today's Wolfram|Alpha is the first step in an ambitious, long-term project to make all systematic knowledge immediately computable by anyone. You enter your question or calculation, and Wolfram|Alpha uses its built-in algorithms and growing collection of data to compute the answer. Answer Engine vs Search Engine When Wolfram|Alpha launches later today, it will be one of the most computationally intensive websites on the internet . The Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine is an "answer engine" that is able to produce answers to various questions such as What is the GDP of France? Weather is Springfield when David Ortiz was born 33 g of gold LDL vs. serum potassium 150 smoker male age 40 life expectancy male age 40 finland highschool teacher median wage Wolfram|Alpha excels at different areas like mathematics, statistics, physics, engineering, astronomy, chemistry, life sciences, geology, busine

Introduction: This is an excerpt from my article Building Super Scalable Systems: Blade Runner Meets Autonomic Computing in the Ambient Cloud. Have we reached the end of scaling? That's what I asked myself one day after noticing a bunch of "The End of" headlines. We've reached The End of History because the Western liberal democracy is the "end point of humanity's sociocultural evolution and the final form of human government." We've reached The End of Science because of the "fact that there aren't going to be any obvious, cataclysmic revolutions." We've even reached The End of Theory because all answers can be found in the continuous stream of data we're collecting. And doesn't always seem like we're at The End of the World ? Motivated by the prospect of everything ending, I began to wonder: have we really reached The End of Scaling? For a while I thought this might be true. The reason I thought the End of Scaling might be near is because of the slow down of potential articles at m

Introduction: This is an excerpt from my article Building Super Scalable Systems: Blade Runner Meets Autonomic Computing in the Ambient Cloud. Earlier we talked about how a single botnet could harness more compute power than our largest super computers. Well, that's just the start of it. The amount of computer power available to the Ambient Cloud will be truly astounding. 2 Billion Personal Computers The number of personal computers is still growing. By 2014 one estimate is there will be 2 billion PCs . That's a giant reservoir of power to exploit, especially considering these new boxes are stuffed with multiple powerful processors and gigabytes of memory. 7 Billion Smartphones By now it's common wisdom smartphones are the computing platform of the future. It's plausible to assume the total number of mobile phones in use will roughly equal the number of people on earth. That's 7 billion smartphones. Smartphones aren't just tiny little wannabe computers anymore either. They are rea

Introduction: Election night is a big traffic boost for news and social sites. Yahoo expects up to 400 million page views on Election Day. Data Center Knowledge has an excellent article how various sites are preparing to handle spikes in election night traffic. Some interesting bits: Prepare ahead . Don't wait to handle spikes, plan and prepare before the blessed event. Use a CDN . Daily Kos puts images on a CDN, but the dynamic nature of their site means the can't use CDN for their other content. Scale up . Daily Kos "to handle the traffic better, we moved to a cluster of six quad core Xeons with 8GB RAM for webheads that all boot off a central NFS (Network File System) root, with the capability of adding more webheads as needed,” . They also "added two 16GB eight-core Xeons and a 6×73GB RAID-10 array for database files running a MySQL master/slave setup." Add Cache . Daily Kos added 1GB instances memcached to each webhead.

This new class of chips is is part of a bigger Intel initiative referred to as Tera-Scale Computing . Cisco has released their Unified Computing System (UCS) equipped with a unique extended memory and high speed network within the box, which is specifically geared to take advantage of this type of CPU architecture . This new class of hardware has the potential to revolutionize the IT landscape as we know it. In this post, I want to focus primarily on the potential implications on application architecture, more specifically on the application platform landscape. more...
