Bio:

John Wilkes, Cluster Management, Mountain View

John Wilkes got his PhD from Cambridge University, and joined HP Labs in 1982 where he was elected an HP Fellow and an ACM Fellow in 2002 for work on storage system design. His interests span many aspects of distributed systems, with a recurring theme around self-management of infrastructure systems. In November 2008 he moved to Google, where he is working on cluster management and service level agreements for infrastructure services. In his spare time he continues, stubbornly, trying to learn how to blow glass.
