Explore the potential of tiny, pure functions in revolutionizing codecs, compilation, and various computational tasks in this Stanford Computer Systems Colloquium seminar. Delve into Keith Winstein's research on improving performance and modularity in networks, applications, and media codecs through the composition of small, pure functions. Examine case studies including ExCamera's parallelization of video encoding, Salsify's low-latency network video system, and Lepton's distributed JPEG compression. Discover the concept of cloud "thunks" and their application in transforming time-consuming operations into massively parallel, short-duration functions in the cloud. Gain insights into the future of general-purpose lambda computing and its potential to reshape system and protocol design across various domains.
