Computer Science Colloquium Presents: Distributed Cache Invalidation at Scale

  • Sonoma State University 1801 E Cotati Ave Rohnert Park, CA, 94928 United States (map)

Speaker: Greg Cooper, Software Engineer, Google

Dr. Cooper will describe some of the challenges involved in building a large-scale distributed cache invalidation system and will present the design for one such system, called Thialfi, which was built and operated at Google for most of the past decade. He will also discuss the limitations of that design and touch on ways in which modern infrastructure allows improvements to it. The work is joint with Atul Adya, Phil Bogle, Dennis Geels, Brice Hulse, Larry Kai, Vishesh Khemani, Nick Kline, Colin Meek, Amanda Moreton, Daniel Myers, and Michael Piatek.
