Abstract

Abstract As computation continues to move into the cloud, the computing platform of interest no longer resembles a pizza box or a refrigerator, but a warehouse full of computers. These new large datacenters are quite different from traditional hosting facilities of earlier times and cannot be viewed simply as a collection of co-located servers. Large portions of the hardware and software resources in these facilities must work in concert to efficiently deliver good levels of Internet service performance, something that can only be achieved by a holistic approach to their design and deployment. In other words, we must treat the datacenter itself as one massive warehouse-scale computer (WSC). We describe the architecture of WSCs, the main factors influencing their design, operation, and cost structure, and the characteristics of their software base. We hope it will be useful to architects and programmers of today’s WSCs, as well as those of future many-core platforms which may one day implement the equivale...

作为计算机的数据中心:仓库级机器设计导论，第二版

随着计算不断向云端移动，我们感兴趣的计算平台不再像一个披萨盒或冰箱，而是一个装满计算机的仓库。这些新的大型数据中心与早期的传统托管设施有很大不同，不能简单地将其视为一组位于同一位置的服务器。这些设施中的大部分硬件和软件资源必须协同工作，以有效地提供高水平的Internet服务性能，这只能通过对其设计和部署采用整体方法来实现。换句话说，我们必须将数据中心本身视为一个大型仓库级计算机(WSC)。我们描述了wsc的体系结构，影响其设计、运行和成本结构的主要因素，以及其软件基础的特点。我们希望它对当今WSCs的架构师和程序员，以及未来可能有一天实现同等功能的多核心平台的架构师和程序员有所帮助……
