متن زیر برداشتی از بلاگ رسمی گوگل است که به معرفی و ایده های یک مهندس ایرانی با نام وحید وحدت اشاره دارد که در تیم گوگل ایده های وی سبب گسترش هرچه بیشتر طرحهای گوگل گشته است:
It gives me great pleasure to share that the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) has announced
that three Googlers have been elected ACM Fellows in 2011. The ACM is
the world’s largest educational and scientific computing society, and
the Fellows Program celebrates the exceptional contributions of leaders
in the computing field. This year the society has selected Amit Singhal, Peter S. Magnusson and Amin Vahdat for their outstanding work, which has provided fundamental knowledge to the field.
The recently-named Fellows join 14 prior Googler ACM Fellows
and other professional society honorees in exemplifying our
extraordinarily talented people. On behalf of Google, I congratulate our
colleagues. They embody Google’s commitment to innovation with impact,
and I hope that they’ll serve as inspiration to students as well as the
broader community of computer scientists.
You can read more detailed summaries of their achievements below, including the official citations from the ACM.
Dr. Amin Vahdat, Principal Engineer
For contributions to data center scalability and management
Amin’s work made an impact at Google long before he arrived here. Amin
is known for conducting research through bold, visionary projects that
combine creativity with careful consideration of the engineering
constraints needed to make them applicable in real world applications.
Amin’s infrastructure ideas have underpinned the shift in the computing
field from the pure client-server paradigm to a landscape in which major
web services are hosted “in the cloud” across multiple data centers. In
addition to pioneering “third-party cloud computing” through his work
on WebOS and Rent-A-Server in the mid-90s, Amin has made important
advancements in managing wide-area consistency between data centers,
scalable modeling of data center applications, and building scalable
data center networks.
Amin’s innovations have penetrated and broadly influenced the networking
community within academia and industry, including Google, and his
research has been recapitulated and expanded upon in a number of
publications. Conferences that formerly did not even cover data centers
now have multiple sessions covering variants of what Amin and his team
have proposed. At Google, Amin continues to drive next-generation data
center infrastructure focusing on Software Defined Networking and new
opportunities from optical technologies. This is emblematic of Amin’s
ability to build real systems, and perhaps more significantly, convince
people of their value.
