AMPLAB was a University of California, Berkeley lab focused on big data analytics located in Soda Hall.
The name stands for the Algorithms, Machines and People Lab.
[1][2] It has been publishing papers since 2008[3] and was officially launched in 2011.
While AMPLab has worked on a wide variety of big data projects (known as BDAS, the Berkeley Data Analytics Stack[5]), many know it as the lab that invented Apache Mesos,[6] and Apache Spark,[7] and Alluxio.
[8] Berkeley launched RISELab[9] as the successor to AMPLab in 2017.
