title="Tech Talk: Google Fiber Internet: The Messy Bits">
|
||||
<short>
|
||||
<p>The CSC and Google will be holding a joint tech talk. Talk title and
|
||||
abstract details coming soon.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Google Fiber's Internet service offers 1000 Mbps internet to a few cities:
|
||||
that's 100x faster than a typical home connection. The problem with going
|
||||
so fast is it moves the bottleneck around: for the first time, your Internet
|
||||
link may be faster than your computer, your wifi, or even your home LAN.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Our speaker, Avery Pennarun, will share some not-very-secret secrets from
|
||||
the team creating GFiber's open source router firmware, including some
|
||||
discussion of wifi, marketing truthiness, the laws of physics, something
|
||||
about coaxial cables, embedded ARM processors, queuing theory, signal
|
||||
processing, hardware design, and kernel driver optimization. If you're lucky,
|
||||
he may also rant about poor garbage collector implementations. Also, there
|
||||
will be at least one slide containing one of those swooshy circle-and-arrow
|
||||
lifecycle diagrams, we promise.
