The OpenOnload User-level Network Stack
Google Tech Talks
February, 7 2008
ABSTRACT
The architecture of conventional networked systems has remained largely
constant for many years now. However, some specialised application domains
have adopted alternative architectures. For example, the HPC community
uses message passing libraries which perform network processing in
user-space in conjunction with the features of user-accessible network
interfaces. Such user-level networking reduces networking overheads
considerably without sacrificing the security and resource management
functionality that the operating system normally provides.
Supporting user-level TCP/UDP/IP networking for a more general set of
applications poses considerable challenges, including: intercepting system
calls, binary compatability with existing applications, maintaining
security, supporting fork() and exec(), passing sockets through Unix domain
sockets and advancing the protocol when the application is not scheduled.
This talk presents the OpenOnload architecture for user-level networking.
We describe our solutions to the challenges outlined above, and novel
techniques to reduce CPU overhead, avoid lock contention, minimise
interrupt overheads and improve cache efficiency. Finally we present
performance results of the OpenOnload stack including protocol compliance,
and plans for further work within the open source community.

ABSTRACT
Sensors and their data will dominate tomorrow’s global network. Location-tagged images and sound, captured from mobile phones, will intersect with data from municipal monitoring of city infrastructure and embedded sensors placed by citizens. Social networking applications built on tagged media are already flourishing. Intrinsically data-centric features will soon come to networking, providing low-level capabilities to verify location, aggregate sources, control resolution and implement privacy policies, all for data that originates in the…

Podcars: Using networking ideas to transport people.
Google Tech Talks
November 20, 2008
ABSTRACT
Podcars are car sized vehicles on guideways elevated over streets. Podcar systems have network topology where each pod is routed the fastest way from origin to destination. High capacity is achieved through short inter-vehicle distances. The direct travel to any destination results in high mean travel speeds, rivaled only by a car in uncongested streets. Podcars use electricity directly off the grid and are very energy efficient. The talk will give a broad description of the technology and the market situation and present a sample network for the Googleplex.
Speaker: Bengt Gustafsson
Bengt Gustafsson, CEO of Beamways, a Swedish startup developing a Podcar system. Bengt’s background is in the software industry where he has developed novel user interface generators, language interpreters and database engines.

What are some benefits of online social networking?
Hello, I’m writing a paper on social networking right now, and I’m a little stuck. I need to write about how social networking draws people closer together, and I’ve already written about communication and information/file sharing. Does anyone have any other ideas?? Thanks.
I’ve found that social networking helps to reunite people. I found so many childhood friends through pen pal websites and such, plus it’s also possible to find and communicate with family members who you’ve never met.
