Seminar • Systems and Networking • Co-designing Distributed Systems and Storage Stacks for Reliability and Performance

Please note: This seminar will be given online.

Ram Alagappan, Postdoctoral researcher
VMware Research Group

Distributed storage systems form the core of modern cloud services. Like many systems software, these systems are built using layering: system designers use distributed protocols (e.g., Paxos, 2PC) and layer them upon local storage engines (e.g., RocksDB, SQLite). Such layering abstracts details about the storage stack to the layers above, easing development.

At Tableau, our mission is to help people see and understand data. Given this mission, the aim of my research is to explore new ways of seeing and understanding data from someone else’s point of view: i.e., the use of visualization in multimodal communication.
