Informationen zum Autor Suparna Bhattacharya is a Distinguished Technologist at Hewlett Packard Enterprise. She has spent most of her career in systems software development and research (5 years at HPE preceded by 21 years at IBM), including several enjoyable years as a well-recognized open source contributor to the Linux kernel. Her recent work advances the use of nonvolatile memory technologies and cross-layer optimization in storage and hyper-converged systems for edge to core data services,containers, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. Suparna is an ACM India eminent speaker and has served on program committees for ASPLOS, OOPSLA, MASCOTS, ECOOP, HotStorage, and USENIX FAST. She holds a B.Tech from IIT Kharagpur (1993) and a (late-in-life) PhD with a best thesis award from the Indian Institute of Science (2013). Kanchi Gopinath is a professor at Indian Institute of Science in the Computer Science and Automation Department. His research interests are primarily in the computer systems area (Operating Systems, Storage Systems, Systems Security, and Systems Verification). He is currently an associate editor of IEEE Computer Society Letters and was earlier an associate editor of ACM Transactions on Storage (2009-2018). His education has been at IIT-Madras (B.Tech’77), University of Wisconsin, Madison (MS’80) and Stanford University(PhD’88). He has also worked at AMD (Sunnyvale) (’80-’82), and as a PostDoc (’88-’89) at Stanford. Doug Voigt is a retired Distinguished Technologist who worked for HP and HPE storage for his entire 40 year career. He has developed firmware and software for disk controllers, disk arrays, and storage management. He has led HP and HPE virtual array advanced development projects and strategy since 1990. For the last 10 years his focus has been on non-volatile memory systems. Throughout his career, Doug was a strong proponent of industry standards. He has been a member the Storage Network Industry Association (SNIA) since 2009. He served on the SNIA board of directors, technical council, and as co-chair of the NVM Programming Technical Working Group. Doug has over 50 patents, mostly in the areas of virtual arrays and persistent memory. Doug’s hobbies include music, photography, and reading science fiction/fantasy. Zusammenfassung This book raises developer awareness to the central principles and benefits of resource proportional software design in creating an antidote to the problem of run-time bloat in deeply layered software stacks. The book motivates discussion on implications for emerging technologies for system designers. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction. The Problem of Software Bloat. Does Lean Imply Green?
