Semaphore Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Hi, I am choosing between UIUC and Cornell to decide which school to study system, distributed system specifically. I know UIUC seems ranked higher for system, but Cornell also has excellent faculty. I also has a location preference of east coast. Any suggestions?
danconia Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 It depends on if you want to work on the theoretical side (Cornell or maybe UIUC) or the practical side (definitely UIUC) of distributed systems. Also, UIUC is just superb when it comes to hardware resources. It will have a 300,000+ core supercomputer by 2012. I don't think any other school could beat that.
