If this is typical of the authors' technical prowess, I think I'll pass.

My mistake. The authors are Luiz André Barroso [1] and Urs Hölzle [2] from Google Research. The host of this paper has nothing to do with them. Just remove cookieSet=1 from the end of the URL (if an admin could remove it from the story, would be appreciated).

1. http://research.google.com/pubs/LuizBarroso.html

2. http://research.google.com/pubs/author79.html

Here's the pdf: http://www.morganclaypool.com/doi/pdf/10.2200/S00193ED1V01Y2...

(via @spolsky)

EDIT: removed cookieset :-)

Yeah, your link won't work either. These guys have a weird linking system - you need to visit the URL http://www.morganclaypool.com/doi/pdf/10.2200/S00193ED1V01Y2...

Which sets a cookie and redirects you to the one you can't share.

So far, I've only had a chance to scan this paper, but it looks like it address a remarkably broad number of the issues surrounding operating and growing large clusters.
