The UW CSE distributed systems group is working on an ambitious
research project called Harmony. We are looking for undergraduate
students to join our project to start either this Summer or next Fall.
Harmony is a distributed storage system that is designed to scale to
millions of machines and to provide high availability without
sacrificing consistency. Working on this project will prepare students
for graduate school, and provide software development and
systems-building experience valued for positions at companies such as
Google and Amazon.
Applying students should be highly motivated, able to quickly grasp
new concepts and to work independently. Prior experience with the
Python programming language, networking, topics in concurrency, and
systems building are a plus. However, none of these are requirements
for the research position. We welcome students with no prior research
experience.
This project is coordinated by two graduate students — Ivan
Beschastnikh and Lisa Glendenning. Please contact us if you would like
more information about this opportunity.
Thanks!
Ivan (ivan@cs) and Lisa (lglenden@cs).
