DESCRIPTION:This paper introduces CIEL\, a universal execution engine\nfor
  distributed data-flow programs. Like previous\nexecution engines\, CIEL m
 asks the complexity of distributed\nprogramming. Unlike those systems\, a 
 CIEL job\ncan make data-dependent control-flow decisions\, which\nenables 
 it to compute iterative and recursive algorithms.\nWe have also developed 
 Skywriting\, a Turingcomplete\nscripting language that runs directly on CI
 EL.\nThe execution engine provides transparent fault tolerance\nand distri
 bution to Skywriting scripts and highperformance\ncode written in other pr
 ogramming languages.\nWe have deployed CIEL on a cloud computing\nplatform
 \, and demonstrate that it achieves scalable performance\nfor both iterati
 ve and non-iterative algorithms.\n\nThe paper is at http://www.cl.cam.ac.u
 k/~dgm36/publications/2011-murray2011ciel.pdf.\n\nThis is a practice talk 
 for NSDI 2011 (http://www.usenix.org/events/nsdi11/index.html).
