The past 19 years show just how much. The industry is absolutely abuzz with research and its applications.
Systems research sure felt like a dying field in 2000. But 2000 was the start of its revival. So much good has happened since. I wouldn't know where to start. GPUs? The Cloud? iOS and Android? ZFS and DTrace? Rust? I'm afraid of all the things I might miss in making a representative list!
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoNote well his definition of "is": "Now, not ten years ago, and I hope not in another ten years." Maybe you're actually agreeing with him?
- cryptonector 8y agoWhere is that? Anyways, I'm not disagreeing about the state of play in 2000. I'm disagreeing with the pessimism.
- AnimalMuppet 8y agoIt's in the "Definitions" section. Interestingly, however, it's not in the PDF - the words are there, but the definitions of the words are missing.
- hestefisk 8y agoYes, Dtrace and ZFS as well. Zones. Even MS Systems Research has a decent body of contribution. Anyone remember Singularity, their .NET based OS?
- nickpsecurity 8y agoHe talked about a systems project nobody would attempt. Microsoft did with Midori. It was amazing result. Then, they shelved it outside use in one service. (Sighs)
