High performance distributed storage systems face the challenge of load imbalance caused
by skewed and dynamic workloads. This paper introduces Pegasus, a new storage …

Two key trends in computing are evident---emergence of GPU as a first-class compute
element and emergence of byte-addressable nonvolatile memory technologies (NVRAM) as …

Byte-addressable persistent memory (PMEM) can be directly manipulated by Remote Direct
Memory Access (RDMA) capable networks. However, existing studies to combine RDMA …

Since very few contributions to the development of an unified memory orchestration
framework for efficient management of both host and remote idle memory have been made …

Techniques for implementing OS/hypervisor-based persistent memory are provided. In one
embodiment, an OS or hypervisor running on a computer system can allocate a portion of …

Datacenters have grown beyond a simple collection of independent computers. They are
now a complex and interconnected ecosystem of heterogeneous hardware and software …

Techniques for implementing application fault tolerance via battery-backed replication of
volatile state are provided. In one set of embodiments, a primary host system can detect a …

Persistent memory (PMEM) devices present an opportunity to retain the flexibility of main
memory data structures and algorithms, but augment them with reliability and persistence …

Checkpointing (or snapshotting) a system's state has always been a problem of great
interest and has found a lot of use in ensuring system reliability, record-replay debugging …

Researchers from industry and academia have recently proposed to disaggregate memory
in warehouse-scale computers, motivated by the increasing performance of networks, and a …
