This book describes warehouse-scale computers (WSCs), the computing
platforms that power cloud computing and all the great web services
we use every day. It discusses how these new systems treat the
datacenter itself as one massive computer designed at warehouse
scale, with hardware and software working in concert to deliver
good levels of internet service performance. The book details the
architecture of WSCs and covers the main factors influencing their
design, operation, and cost structure, and the characteristics of
their software base. Each chapter contains multiple real-world
examples, including detailed case studies and previously
unpublished details of the infrastructure used to power Google's
online services. Targeted at the architects and programmers of
today's WSCs, this book provides a great foundation for those
looking to innovate in this fascinating and important area, but the
material will also be broadly interesting to those who just want to
understand the infrastructure powering the internet. The third
edition reflects four years of advancements since the previous
edition and nearly doubles the number of pictures and figures. New
topics range from additional workloads like video streaming,
machine learning, and public cloud to specialized silicon
accelerators, storage and network building blocks, and a revised
discussion of data center power and cooling, and uptime. Further
discussions of emerging trends and opportunities ensure that this
revised edition will remain an essential resource for educators and
professionals working on the next generation of WSCs.
