| Dryad: A general-purpose distributed execution platform |
 |
Google Tech Talks
November, 1 2007
ABSTRACT
Web search has generated the need and economic
support for a new class of data-intensive
supercomputing applications. Several computing
platforms have been created to support this need:
the first described in the literature is Google's
MapReduce. I will describe the architecture of the
Dryad system developed at Microsoft Research, and
explain some of our design choices. Dryad allows
more general computations than MapReduce, and has
consequently been used as a middleware abstraction
on which higher-level programming models can be
implemented. I will also briefly discuss some of
these.
Speaker: Michael Isard
Michael Isard started out as a computer vision
researcher, but has gradually been lured into
systems research by his colleagues, first at
DEC/Compaq SRC and now at Microsoft Research
Silicon Valley. He was closely involved in the
design and implementation of the first version of
Microsoft's in-house search engine, and his
systems research subsequently has concentrated on
programming models for parallel and distributed
computing.

| Using YouTube with a Purpose - Helping Kids in Bangladesh |
 |
"This is probably the coolest thing that has ever
happened to me." - Hank Green
If it wasn't for YouTube, I couldn't have done
this.
It's thanks to YouTube that I was able to team up
with Rick Davis - an American school teacher in
Bangladesh who got in contact with me after
finding one of my videos on YouTube. He helped pay
and plan this trip this rural village in a
military-controlled and malaria heavy part of
Bangladesh. And, of course, I couldn't have done
this without the support of John and Hank Green
and all the Nerdfigthers out there.
Hank Green's donation went to Rithanu - an 11 year
old malaria survivor. Hank's YouTube channel is:

Patrick's donation went to help 7 year old Jack
(who, if I heard correctly from the locals, is
also a malaria survivor). Patrick's YouTube
channel is:
http://youtube.com/hyrcan
The donation of a PermaNet (a long lasting
insecticide treated mosquito net) was made
possible with the help of Vestergaard-Frandsen.
Vestergaard-Frandsen manufactures PermaNets along
with other products that help control the spread
of disease in the developing world. You can find
more information at:

I was neither paid nor required to endorse their
products. I endorse them because their products
work - I've witnessed this first hand. If you'd
like to donate one of their products, check out my
recommended charities list:

| Common Purpose the Unseen Invasion - Brian Gerrish |
 |
Brian Gerrish discovered the hidden machinations
of Common Purpose in Plymouth England some time
ago. CP influence is seen in force throughout the
BBC, Local Councils, Police, Schools, National
Health Service, and many government agencies that
run towns in the UK. Leading toward ever closer
union, it is a subversive way to set up new
leaders of the coming Totalitarian Socialist State
(The European Union). Bringing people in through
'Self Improvement' courses, the talented are
picked and indoctrinated in CP ideology. Destined
to break up traditional viewpoints it is a very
effective and hidden tool of manipulators behind
the scenes. Many CP trained 'leaders' are well
aware of the true purpose of the organization,
most are not but are serving the goal as a result
of their retraining in the CP mode of thinking.
Brainwashing, a cult, a subversive organization,
are terms redily applied to the methods and
organization of the group. (check out my other
videos on Google Video, Yahoo Video) (Disclaimer:

| The Purpose of Marriage (Paul Washer w/ Dutch) |
 |
What is the purpose of marriage? Paul Washer
explains that the purpose of marriage is not to
fulfill selfish desires, but to glorify God.
Here's a short poem by Youtube's own Abalone Kid
Chaim. He sent this to me after seeing this video
and was gracious enough to allow me to post it
here to share with you.
TO JACKIE AT CHRISTMAS 2006: MY LOVE FOR YOU
Through the majesty of the Savior
I glorify my love for you
In the rush of winds
And torrential rains
In oceans pure
The southern sky
I see your face
In little creatures
The lush desert bloom
In the sunlight of my days
I hear your voice next to mine
Through God's love
I sanctify my love for you
In towering redwoods
The white crescent mountain peaks
In ever-changing sands
And the movement of the sky
I see your touch
And remember
Chaim (The Abalone Kid)
