These new expectations now apply not just to data traditionally associated with the web such as tweets, instagram posts, and youtube videos, but also to engineering and scientific data. The data systems that support such uses of data must be incredibly performant not only due to the computational requirements of training iterative learning algorithms but also because the human in the loop must engage and interact with the data at scale. This talk will focus on the underlying design and architecture decisions made to build a horizontally scalable platform for time series sensor data at sample rates of up to 1 billion samples per second per stream, enabling not only traditional scientific and engineering analyses at scale but also machine and deep learning approaches to sensor comprehension.</div><div class="gmail_quote"><br>Dr. Michael Andersen completed his PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of California Berkeley in the prestigious RISELab under Dr. David Culler.
