How Computer Architecture TrendsMay Affect Future Distributed Systems Mark D. Hill Computer Sciences Department University of Wisconsin--Madison /~markhill PODC ‘00 Invited Talk Three Questions What is a System Area Network (SAN)and how will it affect clusters? E.g., InfiniBand How fat will multiprocessor servers beand how to we build larger ones? E.g. Wisconsin Multifacet’s Multicast Timestamp Snooping Future of multiprocessor servers clusters? A merging of both? Outline Motivation System Area Networks Designing Multiprocessor Servers Server Cluster Trends Technology Push: Moore’s Law What do following intervals have in common? Prehistory to 2000 2001 to 2002 Answer: Equal progress in absolute processor speed(and more doubling 2003-4, 2005-6, etc.) Consider salary doubling Corollary: Cost halves every two years Jim Gray: In a decade you can buy a computerfor less than its sales tax today Application Pull Should use computers in currently wasteful ways Already computers in electric razors greeting cards New business models B2C, B2B, C2B, C2C Mass customization More proactive (beyond interactive) [Tennenhouse] Today: P2C where P==Person C==Computer More C2P: mattress adjusts to save your back More C2C: Agents surf the web for optimal deal More sensors (physical/logic worlds coupled) More hidden computers (c.f., electric motors) Furthermore, I am wrong The Internet Iceberg Internet Components Clients -- mobile, wireless “On Ramp” -- LANs/DSL/Cable Modems WAN Backbone -- IPv6, massive BW and ... SERVICES Scale Storage Scale Bandwidth Scale Computation High Availability Outline Motivation System Area Networks What is a SAN? InfiniBand Virtualizing I/O with Queue Pairs Predictions Designing Multiprocessor Servers Server Cluster Trends Regarding Storage/Bandwidth Currently resides on I/O Bus (PCI) HW SW protocol stacks Must add hosts to add storage/bandwidth Want System Area Network (SAN) SAN vs. Local Area Nework (LAN) Higher bandwidth (10
