Tiger: Next Generation Index Serving Platform for Bing The Magic Is Here
What is Index Serving? • Bing is serving billions of queries every day • Each query searches for the best webpages among billions of web documents • It is the most critical infrastructure for the search engine http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/ “Microsoft Research”
What is Tiger? • Tiger is the next generation index serving platform for Bing • Leveraging Solid State Disks (SSD) to deliver great performance improvements • Translates to significant annual savings, and better user experience for Bing • A close collaboration between Bing engineering teams and MSR Asia • Three researchers working almost full-time for one and a half years among the product teams • Demonstrates our commitment to leveraging research to improve Microsoft products

Data Center Connectivity • Challenges • Scaling: connect 100K-1M servers • Fault tolerance: failures are common • High performance: highly demanding apps • Low cost: commodity devices whenever possible • Opportunity • Data centers owned by single org; deployment can be easier than on Internet
ServerSwitch Design • Full programmability at server • Kernel module for low latency • User space for programmability • Packet forwarding in commodity switching ASIC • High performance and limited programmability Software • Low latency and high throughput interconnection PCI-E NSDI’11 Best Paper Award Hardware
Kinect and You • Recognizing you • Your identity • Your facial expression
Kinect Identity: Recognizes You “Kinect ID” User Differentiation Personalization
Kinect Identity Face recognition Robust to varying light condition Fusion of multiple signatures Face + clothes + body height Handling real world variations Signatures are learned from real data + + clothes height face User Identity Collaboration with Kinect Platform Team
Turning Ideas Into Reality Kinect Contribution Highlights • Kinect Identity: shipped Nov 2010 • Kinect Head Pose Tracking: shipped Aug 2011 • Kinect-based Object Digitization: shipped June 2011 • Avatar Kinect: shipped July 2011
