The emerging paradigm of microservices decomposes online services into fine-grained
software modules frequently communicating over the datacenter network, often using …

Online services in modern datacenters use Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) to
communicate between different software layers. Despite RPCs using just a few small …

The ongoing shift of cloud services from monolithic designs to mi-croservices creates high
demand for efficient and high performance datacenter networking stacks, optimized for fine …

We present the nanoPU, a new NIC-CPU co-design to accelerate an increasingly pervasive
class of datacenter applications: those that utilize many small Remote Procedure Calls …

Remote Procedure Calls are widely used to connect datacenter applications with strict tail-
latency service level objectives in the scale of μs. Existing solutions utilize streaming or …

It is commonly believed that datacenter networking software must sacrifice generality to
attain high performance. The popularity of specialized distributed systems designed …

Large-scale online services are commonly structured as a network of software tiers, which
communicate over the datacenter network using RPCs. Ongoing trends towards software …

Managing data and computation is at the heart of datacenter computing. Manual
management of data can lead to data loss, wasteful consumption of storage, and laborious …

Services running in a data center frequently rely on RPCs to child services (eg storage,
cache, authentication), and their latency depends crucially on latencies of those RPCs …

Cloud services have recently undergone a shift from monolithic applications to
microservices, with hundreds or thousands of loosely-coupled microservices comprising the …
