TITLE:
The Collective Intelligent Bricks project -- research status
ABSTRACT:
This talk will review the architecture and status of the Collective Intelligent
Bricks (CIB) project at IBM Almaden, which includes the Ice Cube hardware
and the Kybos software, focussing on recent news and research results.
Together they make a self-managing storage system built from bricks connected
in a 3D mesh. The software provides virtualised file storage that is secure
and scalable, provides performance isolation between collections of data,
and manages resource assignment in order to meet high-level goals. The
new results include algorithms for performance isolation in storage systems,
and (with a little luck) a demonstration of the resource management algorithms
in action.
BIO:
Dr. Golding is on the research staff at IBM Almaden Research
Center, where he leads the Collective Intelligent Bricks software project.
Before that he was an architect at Panasas, working on a distributed object
storage product, and he spent several years in the Storage Systems program
at Hewlett-Packard Labs, working on projects such as AutoRAID and self-managing
storage.
