Links of the day 23 - 12 - 2014

Today's links 23/12/2014: Erasure code library and #cloud #storage that use them ( #swift , #ceph ), warehouse scale computing and scheduling

• Erasure code library : if you need a refresher on the subject [ erasure code for storage ] 
• liberasurecode : Erasure Code API library written in C with pluggable Erasure Code backends. 
• Jerasure : Too bad that Streamscale decided to shut down this project using patent coercion methods [project homepage with announcement].. But the github is still UP :) 
• Cloud storage using Erasure code: 
• Swift : interesting that they chose AP over C ( CAP theorem ) and use liberasurecode 
• Ceph : use jerasure, i wonder what are going to be the implication of the partial amputation of the project on CEPH performance 
• Next Gen Erasure code : erasure code are mapped deterministicaly using a global namespace scheme eliminating the need for accessing metada repository hence speeding up 
• A few control issues in warehouse-scale computing : John wilkes (Google) #cloud Control Workshop, London, UK December 2014 
• Scheduling for Large Scale Systems : 9th Scheduling for Large Scale Systems Workshop - July 1-4, 2014 - Lyon, France
