We present WiscSort, a new approach to high-performance concurrent sorting for existing
and future byte-addressable storage (BAS) devices. WiscSort carefully reduces writes …

Multi-terabyte large memory systems are often characterized by more than two memory tiers
with different latency and bandwidth. Multi-tiered large memory systems call for rethinking of …

For many years, the distributed systems community has struggled to smooth the transition
from local to remote computing. Transparency means concealing the complexities of …

Storage-compute disaggregation has recently emerged as a novel architecture in modern
data centers, particularly in the cloud. By decoupling compute from storage, this new …

The emerging CXL. mem standard provides a new type of byte-addressable remote memory
with a variety of memory types and hierarchies. With CXL. mem, multiple layers of memory …

As cloud workloads increasingly adopt the fault-tolerant Function-as-a-Service (FaaS)
model, demand for improved performance has increased. Alas, the performance of FaaS …

Memory disaggregation has recently been adopted in data centers to improve resource
utilization, motivated by cost and sustainability. Recent studies on large-scale HPC facilities …

Routable PCIe has become the predominant cluster interconnect to build emerging
composable infrastructures. Empowered by PCIe non-transparent bridge devices, PCIe …

The failure atomic and isolated execution of clients operations is a default requirement for a
system that serve multiple loosely coupled clients at a server. However, disaggregated …

Due to the unprecedented development of low-latency interconnect technology, building
large-scale disaggregated architecture is drawing more and more attention from both …
