The datacenter as a computer: designing warehouse-scale machines (3rd ed.)

摘要

As machine learning becomes more popular and more responsible for managing our everyday lives, using it to manage data centers, to control the mammoth tasks engineers have to deal with, is only a natural evolution. This book is a series of lectures in computer architecture, with each chapter devoted to a particular aspect of the data center and the computational challenges in managing it. Written by notable authors in the field, the chapters describe the cost efficiency versus compute tradeoff, managing multiple machine learning workloads, latency, energy efficiency, and even how to manage cooling racks to keep a machine active and working over time.
