Description

The Datacenter as a Computer: Designing Warehouse-Scale Machines is a comprehensive guide to understanding the architecture and design principles of warehouse-scale computers (WSCs). These systems power cloud computing and online services, delivering high-performance internet service. The book explores how WSCs treat the datacenter itself as one massive computer, with hardware and software working together in harmony. The third edition of this book reflects four years of advancements since the previous edition, covering new topics such as video streaming, machine learning, and public cloud, as well as specialized silicon accelerators, storage, and network building blocks. It also provides a revised discussion of data center power and cooling, uptime, and emerging trends in the field. Suitable for architects and programmers working on WSCs, this book offers a solid foundation for innovation in this area. The detailed case studies and previously unpublished details of infrastructure used to power online services make it an interesting read for anyone looking to understand the infrastructure powering the internet.
