The monolithic server model where a server is the unit of deployment, operation, and failure
is meeting its limits in the face of several recent hardware and application trends. To improve …

Current hardware and application storage trends put immense pressure on the operating
system's storage subsystem. On the hardware side, the market for storage devices has …

This paper focuses on the efficient scheduling on multicore systems of very fine-grain
networked tasks, which are the typical building block of online data-intensive applications …

Resource-disaggregated architectures have risen in popularity for large datacenters.
However, prior disaggregation systems are designed for native applications; in addition, all …

Many datacenters and clouds manage storage systems separately from computing services
for better manageability and resource utilization. These existing disaggregated storage …

We present operational experience running Snowflake, a cloud-based data warehousing
system with SQL support similar to state-of-the-art databases. Snowflake design is motivated …

We propose an intuitive abstraction for a process to export its memory to remote hosts, and
to access the memory exported by others. This abstraction provides a simpler interface to …

We present FEMU, a QEMU-based flash emulator for fostering future full-stack
software/hardware SSD research, with the following four" CASE" benefits. FEMU is cheap …

This paper presents LinnOS, an operating system that leverages a light neural network for
inferring SSD performance at a very fine—per-IO—granularity and helps parallel storage …

Emerging SmartNIC-based disaggregated NVMe storage has become a promising storage
infrastructure due to its competitive IO performance and low cost. These SmartNIC JBOFs …
