System Research Group
Overview
The Systems Research Group (SRG) at Microsoft Research Asia conducts research in the theory and practice of building large-scale distributed systems. The group measures its success on how it advances system research frontiers and Microsoft’s product lines through technology transfer. Group members also reach out to collaborate with system researchers in Asia and the rest of the world. A Glimpse at Several Core Innovations:
Key Technologies for Ultra Large-Scale Distributed Systems Distributed systems, where the power of many computing resources is aggregated, is the engine that powers the connected world we live in today. These systems enable data centers, machine rooms, and even Peer-to-Peer applications. The SRG seeks to advance the state-of-the-art by building secure, semantic-rich, energy-efficient, self-organizing, self-healing, and self-tuning distributed systems. Fundamental and Applied Research in Distributed Computing The SRG conducts basic systems research on fundamental distributed algorithms and protocols for large-scale and fault-tolerant distributed systems, formal specifications of distributed protocols, performance analysis, and comparison of distributed protocols. This research allows the SRG to create more robust distributed systems and advance the state-of-the-art in computer science. Cutting-Edge Toolkit Suitable for the Development of Large-Scale Distributed Systems This toolkit encompasses all important aspects of building a distributed system: development, debugging, simulations, verification, testing, and deployment. Additionally, it establishes a completely self-contained ecosystem for large-scale systems research and development. People
