Participants in the Champaign Urbana Cloud Computing Platform User Group Meetup have expressed an interest in ways to evaluate aspects of cloud computing technology. Interests of note have ranged from getting a better sense for the costs associated with particular deployments of cloud computing to better understanding particular tasks in the cloud, such as sorting data at scale.

 

Join our virtual workshop here. For more information, visit our Meetup page here.

 

Please join the April virtual Cloud Computing Meetup where we will:

  • Discuss what this sort of virtual proving ground would be
  • Better assess the need for such a proving ground, and to consider benefits and costs of a community proving ground that spans cloud platforms and collaborates with but is independent of cloud computing platform vendors
  • Assemble a list of use cases for such a proving ground, and identify broad topics of interest
  • Explore roles that would need to be filled in order for such a proving ground to be successful

In keeping with one of the themes for this group during 2020, moving from conceptual or strategic treatments of topics to encountering pragmatic implementation details, a modest 1 Billion-record dataset will be considered, along with computational results for calculation of percentiles, with and without approximation.
