How is it that google is SUCH a hot piece of ass?

[kherman]

Don't they have a serve rfarm with like 10,000 processors? I'm not joking either. Something SICK is there, I forgette numbers though.

Not to mention terabytes of solid-state (aka "memory chip") storage devices. Wish I had a solid-state 120gb drive (0.1 ms avg. access time/seek time etc!)

Is Google the #1 accessed site on the net?

i believe that the entire database is not searched every time you click "search"

i think that if something is requested more than about 5 times a day that they store the results and just feed them to all the millions searching that perticular phrase.

you really think it goes through the database and chugs out the exact same results everytime someone searches for "britney spears pr0n"?

i doubt that alot

Exactly what I mean by good code.

nope nope, google doesn't have an ass, I just searched on google for google's ass, but nothing, Google's ass from a hole in the ground.

most likely, they have a server farm that catalogs indexes that are parallel-processed using a combination of efficient search and sort algorithms. the hottest keywords are probably presorted and entered into a pointer structure that brings back results instantly.

Google rocks! I'd pay for it if I had to, that's how dependent I have become on it.

I use to work at a datacenter that hosted the google servers. It was crazy. They used generic pizza box servers. They would get over a hundred servers per rack. They had two cages with around 18 cabinets in each cage. Thats well over 3600 servers in our one datacenter. They also had the same configuration in at least 6 other datacenters that I knew about. Thats 21,600 servers. They would use some protocol to go out and cache web pages to their servers. We always said it was impossible to do and they keep doing it. Still not sure how they survive. It was amazing to see though.
