The UC Berkeley Big Data AMP Camp, August 29-30
- necubi 13y agoAny other HN people going? There's a lot of really cool stuff in the AMP stack. I've trialed Spark a bit, and its promise of unifying batch and streaming computations under the same code base is very powerful. I'm also pretty excited about Mesos, especially as wider adoption smooths out the operational difficulties. And then there's the really far-out stuff like BlinkDB [0]. AMPlab's close interaction with industry seems like a rare model for a truly impactful research lab. It's become host to many of the most exciting developments in large scale computing in the past few years. [0] http://blinkdb.org/ http://blinkdb.org/

- jack-r-abbit 13y agoAnyone going to this should take note: The Bay Bridge (between Oakland and SF) will be closed starting Wed night at 8pm and will remain closed the entire long weekend. This is mentioned in the linked post. Ordinarily, the trip over the bay from Berkeley to SF is not that big of a deal. But with that bridge closed, any plans to just "pop on over to The City" would not be advised.
- jacobwcarlson 13y agoBART will be running. In fact I'd recommend BART over driving even if the Bay Bridge wasn't going to be closed.
- jack-r-abbit 13y agoYes. BART is always an option. But depending on where you wanted to go and what you wanted to do... BART is not conveniently located to everything.
