Abstract:
Cloud computing uses data centers to provide on-demand access to services such as data storage and hosted applications that provide scalable web services and large scale scientific data analysis. While the architecture of a data center is similar to a conventional supercomputer, they are designed with very different goals.

This talk will cover the basic cloud computing system architectures and the application programming models, beginning with general concepts of data center architecture including the use of virtualization and the role of low power. We next examine cloud computing and storage models with a detailed look at the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform.

Short Bio:
Roger Barga is Principal Architect of External Research in Microsoft Research, where he leads the Advanced Research Services and Tools (ARTS) team. The ARTS team is responsible for developing innovative tools and services using Microsoft products and technology to revolutionize and accelerate research, and it provides strategic and tactical hands-on technological leadership to projects across External Research. Roger joined Microsoft in 1997 as a Researcher in the Database Group of Microsoft Research, where he directed both systems research and product development efforts in database, workflow and stream processing systems. He has developed ideas from basic research, through proof of concept prototypes to incubation efforts in product groups.

Roger has published over 50 peer reviewed papers, filed over 30 patent applications, and served more than 70 times on program committees for more than 30 different international conferences and workshops.
