Not the best I've seen but definitively one I would like to recover the link to : a Googler presentation where she explain how they took about 2 years developing a memory optimisation (circa 2007~2009 IIRC) and manage to finish a few months before it became indispensable because they were about to have an hardware shortage. They were consuming hardware faster than the industry could produce. I just can't remember who she was nor the link. Does it rings a bell to anyone ?



I'm guessing it could be Anna Patterson (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Patterson)


This is the only video where she mentions working on the problem - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7rzFqP3daI


Hum, no it was not her. I think it was a Google I/O on googlevideo at the time but I could be wrong. My memory is a bit fuzzy.
