Amazon Time-Sync: Decoupling Consensus from Latency
In the world of distributed systems, we have long been told that there is a "Speed of Light Tax" we simply cannot avoid. If you want a globally distributed dat…
Meta’s Thermal-Aware GPU Scheduling for Hyperscale Infrastructure
At the scale of Meta’s AI infrastructure—where clusters of 24,576 NVIDIA H100 GPUs are becoming the baseline—the laws of computer science begin to collide viol…
Engineering Stateful Serverless for Exabyte Scale
The industry sold us a dream: Serverless is stateless. It was the perfect abstraction. You write a function, it triggers on an event, it executes, and it disap…
Real-time GPU Scheduling for Hyperscale AI
It’s 3:00 AM. Your inference cluster is processing 150,000 tokens per second. Suddenly, a tier-1 customer triggers a massive batch-processing job, threatening…
Google CXL Tiering: Managing Memory Pressure in Borg
Imagine you’re managing a fleet of millions of servers. You’ve spent the last two decades perfecting the art of packing containers into those servers with the…
Disaggregated Compute and Memory: Transforming Hyperscale Data Centers
You’ve been doing it wrong. Your entire server rack is a lie.
Architecting Hyperscale Foundations for Generative AI
When we talk about Generative AI, the conversation usually centers on the "magic"—the weights, the attention mechanisms, and the emergent capabilities of Large…
Deciphering the TPU v5 Hardware Abstraction Layer
We’ve all seen the charts. The exponential climb of parameters in Large Language Models (LLMs) looks less like a growth curve and more like a vertical takeoff.…
Building Zettabyte DNA Storage with CRISPR-Cas
The world is running out of space. Not physical space—we have plenty of land—but data space.
