2. 1 Greg Papadopoulos, Sun Microsystems The Emerging Big Picture

3. 2 A View of the Internet Global Packet Network © Service providers: scalable highly available persistent state (safe) © Clients: PDAs, smart-phones, PCs heterogeneous, effortless nomadic, pervasive customizable, consistent © Service delivers: infrastructure: prefetch, redirect, distribute, cache intermediary: search, transform, filter, adapt, personalize Randy Katz, UC Berkeley

4. 3 © Service- rather than applications-centric Move applications into the core of the net © Programmable intelligence inside the net, but intelligence shifts to network edges Infrastructure proxies intermixed with switches Mobile/extensible code, “write once, run anywhere” Rapid new service development © Pervasive support for services Personalization, nomadic Automatic replication, redirection Compression and mirroring Data transformation and filtering Some Trends Randy Katz, UC Berkeley

5. 4 Key Technologies: System’s View Global Packet Network Randy Katz, UC Berkeley clusters load balancing availability anycast clusters intermediary service discovery Jini

6. 5 © Effortless networking: Easy and effortless access to network- oriented services © Research efforts: System development environments: Java/Jini Service delivery through infrastructure and intermediary servers Intermediary development/run-time environment Anycast Service migration Underlying system supports: cluster servers Effortless Networking

7. 6 © Goal: to study high performance and scalable servers for internet services © Topics to study: Cluster-based internet services High speed network interface: VIA Scalability, load balance, availability © Works in progress: Installed an 8-node cluster VIA purchased Support 分項計畫六 : web server (“ 詩歌吟唱 ”,..), web-site cache Scalable Internet Services

8. 7 Intermediary Services © Infrastructure services: Reduce latency, server load, traffic, … Caching, prefetching, adapting,... © Intermediary services: Manipulate client-server information flow Transforming, adapting, filtering, … © Reference models: WBI of IBM TACC of UC, Berkeley

17. 16 © “Runtime Compositions and Optimizations of Parallel JavaBean Programs on Clustered Environments”, PDPTA ‘2000. Runtime composition and optimizations of parallel javabean programs. Potentially useful for component object sever and server technologies for pervasive computing. Serialization, externalization, and component specifications are employed. Experimental results done on IBM SP-2. Summary of Paper Results

18. 17 © “A Bytcode-to-bytecode optimizer for performances, LCPC 2000. A bytecode-to-bycode optimization scheme for Java stack caches. Potentially useful for client sites with java cards and java processors in a pervasive computing environment. Extension works are on the way and filing for patents via ITRI CCL. The framework can be useful for other types of java optimizations which can result in performance improvements for both server and client sites with Java programs. Summary of Paper Results
