1
Berkeley RAD LabCenter Proposal
  • Armando Fox, Randy Katz, Michael Jordan, Dave
    Patterson, Scott Shenker, Ion Stoica
  • RADS Retreat, June 2005

2
Setting the Context
  • Academic research trains next generation of IT
    leaders AND helps expand IT market
  • 19 1B industries from IT research (NAE)
  • Long-term, experimental research been key
  • Synergy of Industrial Academic research
  • Academic govt (DARPA)/industry funded (gt80 /
    lt20)
  • 3-6 faculty, 12-24 grad student, 2-3 staff, 4-5
    yrs
  • Berkeley SW Spice/Magic CAD programs, BSD
    (Berkeley SW Distribution) Unix op. sys.,
    Ingres/Postgres Relational Databases,
  • HW RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computer),
    RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks),
    NOW (Networks of Workstations),

Traditional Research Funding Today
  • Avg. industry research shorter term today
  • DARPA exiting long-term (exp.) IT research
  • 03-05 BAAs 9 AI, 2 classified, 1 SW radio, 1
    sensornet, 1 reliability
  • Academic led funding reduced 50 in 3 years
  • Faculty consultants in consortia led by defense
    contractor, get grants support 1-2 students in
    return
  • NSF swamped with proposals, conservative
  • 2000 to 6500 proposals in 5 years
  • IT has lowest acceptance rate at NSF (between 8
    to 16)
  • Ambitious proposal is a negative review
  • Even if get NSF funding, proposal reduced to
    stretch NSF e.g., ServRADS got 3 x ?
    faculty, 6 grad students, 0 staff, 3 years
  • (To learn more, see www.cra.org/research)

Sustaining Innovation Engine?
  • Replicate research centers based primarily on
    industrial funding to train next generation of IT
    leaders and expand IT market
  • Berkeley Wireless Research Center (BWRC) 50 grad
    students
  • Stanford Network Research Center (SNRC) ?? Grad
    students
  • Exciting, long term technical vision
  • Demonstrated by prototype(s)
  • Industry largely funds, so industry helps set
    directions
  • N companies, where N 6
  • center proposes 1st draft of new standard
  • Multiple interfaces Framework, OS, server,
    router,

Founding the RADLab Start Jan 06?
  • 2.5M / yr (½ BWRC) 80 industry, 20 govt
  • 5 years 25 grad students, 25 undergrads , 6
    faculty, 2 staff
  • Looking for 3 founding companies to fund 3-5
    years _at_ cost of 2 employees / year 3
    founding companies to fund 3-5 years _at_ cost of
    1 employee / year
  • Follow Berkeley Wireless Research Center model
  • IP model, Board of Advisors, Participating/Associa
    te Members, Industrial Fellow, Executive Director
    for day-to-day operations,
  • Add good ideas from SNRC Targeted Mentor,
  • Your good ideas go here (Design review, brain
    storming, ?)
  • Got leads or advice? Contact one of us fox,
    randy, jordan, pattrsn, shenker, stoica
    _at_cs.berkeley.edu

Overarching Mantra
  • Enable a faster pace of network service
    innovationthrough new distributed system
    architectures that reduce operations cost by 2-3
    orders of magnitude
  • The Challenge
  • Software systems Too much information ? make
    sense of it through statistical learning
    control theory
  • Network systems Too little information ?exploit
    better observation and monitoring in the network
    infrastructure to drive management processes
  • The Payoff
  • Single person can write, profile, deploy, operate
    the next-generation IT business (the Fortune 1
    million)
  • Do for Internet apps what Web did for individual
    publishing
