Google, A Behind-the-Scenes Look
I’ve had this bookmarked for awhile, and was talking with someone who asked for the link again, so I decide to post it up. It is a bit dated, back in 2004, but I’m sure alot of the ideas are still utilized today. Not too mention the shear insight the video gives you into the internal workings at Google… enjoy!
Search is one of the most important applications used on the Internet and poses interesting challenges in computer science. Providing high-quality search requires understanding across a wide range of computer science disciplines. In this program, Google Fellow Jeff Dean describes some of these challenges, discusses applications Google has developed, and highlights systems they’ve built, including GFS, a large-scale distributed file system, and MapReduce, a library for automatic parallelization and distribution of large-scale computation. He also shares observations derived from Google’s Web data.
