Doofus writes "CNET has published an interesting article, Google spotlights data-center inner workings, regarding Google's data centers, their critical proprietary software, including the file system "GFS", "MapReduce", and other home-grown software. The discussion includes interesting server/cluster arithmetic, and several items regarding the level of parallelism Google seeks, not just at the software level, but also at the data center level.

Most companies are trying to figure out how to move jobs gracefully from one server to another, but Google is a few orders of magnitude above that challenge. It wants to be able to move jobs from one data center to another — automatically, at that.
The singularity cometh?"
