Abstract
I have been fortunate to work in two remarkable research communities, Akademgorodok in Siberia and Silicon Valley in California, and that my professional career stretched over two very different, yet both exciting epochs of the computer systems and science evolution: steady accumulation of knowledge and technology in 1960s–1980s and, then, “Internet Big Bang” and Information Revolution in 1990s–2010s.
In this talk, I track the trends in the development of large computer systems which I witnessed working first at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories and then at Carnegie-Mellon University, Silicon Valley Campus. This is not a general survey, I exemplify those trends by the systems in the analysis or/and design of which I and my colleagues participated.
