Public cloud providers seek to meet stringent performance requirements and low hardware
cost. A key driver of performance and cost is main memory. Memory pooling promises to …

The increasing demand for memory in hyperscale applications has led to memory becoming
a large portion of the overall datacenter spend. The emergence of coherent interfaces like …

Hardware disaggregation has emerged as one of the most fundamental shifts in how we
build computer systems over the past decades. While disaggregation has been successful …

Fast DRAM increasingly dominates infrastructure spend in large scale computing
environments and this trend will likely worsen without an architectural shift. The cost of …

SmartNICs have recently emerged as an appealing device for accelerating distributed
systems. However, there has not been a comprehensive characterization of SmartNICs, and …

We propose uBFT, the first State Machine Replication (SMR) system to achieve microsecond-
scale latency in data centers, while using only 2 f+ 1 replicas to tolerate f Byzantine failures …

Responding to the" datacenter tax" and" killer microseconds" problems for memory-intensive
datacenter applications, diverse solutions including Smart NIC-based ones have been …

This paper investigates the feasibility of using inexpensive flash memory on new
interconnect technologies such as CXL (Compute Express Link) to overcome the memory …

Memory disaggregation has replaced the landscape of dat-acenters by physically
separating compute and memory nodes, achieving improved utilization. As early efforts …

Compute and memory are tightly coupled within each server in traditional datacenters.
Large-scale datacenter operators have identified this coupling as a root cause behind …
