Zoom Detail Below

Background: 

Jonas Pfefferle is a software engineer at IBM Research – Zurich in the Cloud Storage and Analytics group. His research interests are in virtualized distributed systems and data centers, specifically in state-of-the-art network and storage technologies. Currently he is working on exploiting high-performance I/O devices with the focus on Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and non-volatile memory (NVM) in data processing frameworks like Spark. Jonas holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from ETH Zurich (2014).

Patrick Stuedi is a member of the research staff at IBM research Zurich. His research interests are in distributed systems, networking and operating systems. Patrick graduated with a PhD from ETH Zurich in 2008 and spent two years (2008-2010) as a Postdoc at Microsoft Research Silicon Valley. The general theme of his work is to explore how modern networking and storage hardware can be exploited in distributed systems. Currently he is working on Apache Crail, a new Apache project providing fast distributed storage on modern hardware.

In this talk, Jonas and Patric will introduce Apache Crail (Incubating) a fast, distributed data store that is designed specifically for high-performance network and storage devices. The goal of the project is to deliver the true hardware performance to data processing frameworks in the most accessible way.
