Abstract

Google’s mission is to organize the world’s information and make it
universally accessible and useful. Working towards this mission, the
company has pushed the boundaries in many engineering disciplines,
ranging from algorithm design in a massively parallel setting to power
management in data centers. In this talk, I will present some of the
infrastructure components needed to support Google web search and also
discuss some of the algorithmic problems that must be solved in order
to organize the world’s information and serve it to users across the
globe.
