Above the Clouds: A Berkeley View of Cloud Computing
Hoping to emulate the influence of the report “The Landscape of Parallel Computing Research: A View From Berkeley” from the University of California Berkeley Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS) Department’s Parallel Computing Laboratory (Par Lab), a group of a dozen faculty and grad students in the EECS Reliable Adaptive Distributed Systems Laboratory (RAD Lab) spent six months brainstorming about the impact and future directions of “cloud computing.” David Patterson, who has a joint appointment as a researcher in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Computational Research Division, was one of the leaders of both projects.
