Seminar: Next-Generation Data Systems
Content
In this seminar, we study the design principles behind modern data systems, spanning cloud-native architectures and the emerging hardware that is reshaping them. Reading recent publications from industry and academia, we examine how these systems achieve scalability, elasticity, and fault tolerance, covering topics such as the separation of storage and compute, distributed transactions, and serverless data processing, and how they exploit modern hardware, including hardware accelerators, disaggregated memory, and computational storage. Each participant presents and discusses a recent paper.
Organization
