Research summary
Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence are transforming many industries. But they depend on computer systems that can efficiently and reliably process and store large amounts of data.
Dr. Bianca Schroeder, Canada Research Chair in Reliable and Efficient Data Centres, is collecting and analyzing field data from these systems to improve the reliability of data storage systems. She and her research team will use their results to enhance both enterprise storage systems and distributed storage in virtualized data centres. They are also working toward the more efficient use of resources in virtualized data centres by developing new virtual machine types and improving the scheduling of virtual machine workloads.
