Ben's talk explains Apache Mesos, a platform that provides efficient resource isolation and sharing for distributed applications and frameworks. You can use Mesos to run Hadoop, MPI, Hypertable, Spark (a new framework for low-latency interactive and iterative jobs), and others on the same cluster. You can also use Mesos to help build novel distributed applications and frameworks. In this talk Ben discusses the architecture and motivation of Mesos, describes how to build a new application/framework on Mesos, and how Mesos is currently being used at Twitter and other places. Benjamin Hindman is one of the creators of Mesos, a platform for building and running distributed systems. He has done research in the areas of programming languages and distributed systems as a graduate student at Berkeley, where he hopes to one day finish his PhD. These days he spends most of his time hacking on Mesos at Twitter where it is being used in production. www.airbnb.com/techtalks
