\end{center}


Abstract:\\

Google has large amounts of data -- to index the Web, you need to
have an addressable copy of it -- and many custom tools designed
to operate at that scale.  One of those tools is a special-purpose
language for distributed data processing.   I will describe that
language, including its unusual model and implementation, starting
from the point of view of my long-term interest in concurrent
programming.\\


Background on Speaker: \\
Rob Pike, well known for his appearances
on ``Late Night with David Letterman'', has been a member of the
Systems Lab at Google, Inc., since 2002.  For countless years he
toiled as a Member of the Technical Staff at Bell Laboratories in
Murray Hill, New Jersey.  In 1981 he wrote the first bitmap window
system for Unix systems, and has since written ten more.  He was a
principal designer and implementer of the Plan 9 and Inferno
operating systems.  With Bart Locanthi he designed the Blit
terminal; with Brian Kernighan he wrote `The Unix Programming
Environment' and `The Practice of Programming'.  A shuttle mission
nearly launched a gamma-ray telescope he designed.  He is a
Canadian citizen and has never written a program that uses cursor
addressing.
