Most data processing and distributed systems have some sort of link back to the research this lab has done.

Heh. "most data processing and distributed systems"? Surely you don't mean that the rest of the world was sitting tight working on uniprocessors until this lab got set up in 2017!

> You need a decade after a center finishes to judge if it was a home run. Just 8 of the 12 centers in Table I are old enough, and only 3 of them—RISC, RAID, and the Network of Workstations center—could be considered home runs. If slugging .375 is good, then I’m glad that I had many 5-‐year centers rather than fewer long ones.

Now, Berkeley has been a fount of research on the topic, no question about that. I myself worked there (on Bloom, with Joe Hellerstein). But forgetting the other top universities of the world is a bit ... amusing?
Let's take one of the many lists of foundational papers of this field:

How many came out of Berkeley, let alone a recent entry like the AMPLab?
I am not going to make every contextualizing comment an authoritative bibliography , you of all people could have added that w/o being snarky and starting this whole subthread.
I didn't think you were saying that most distributed systems work happening at Berkeley harks back to earlier work at Berkeley. That's a bit obvious.
The only way I can interpret "most distributed systems work now" is a statement about work happening globally. In which case it is a sweeping and false generalization.
Is there another interpretation?
And I'm guessing if you include BOOM[1], the links are even deeper.
