Memory is the most contended and least elastic resource in datacenter servers today.
Applications can use only local memory—which may be scarce—even though memory …

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 …

Memory disaggregation has attracted great attention recently because of its benefits in
efficient memory utilization and ease of management. So far, memory disaggregation …

Emerging hardware like persistent memory (PM) and high-speed NICs are promising to
build efficient key-value stores. However, we observe that the small-sized access pattern in …

Disaggregated memory can address resource provisioning inefficiencies in current
datacenters. Multiple software runtimes for disaggregated memory have been proposed in …

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

Non-volatile memory and remote direct memory access (RDMA) provide extremely high
performance in storage and network hardware. However, existing distributed file systems …

Memory disaggregation promises transparent elasticity, high resource utilization and
hardware heterogeneity in data centers by physically separating memory and compute into …

Memory disaggregation architecture physically separates CPU and memory into
independent components, which are connected via high-speed RDMA networks, greatly …

Programmable switches have been touted as an attractive alternative for deploying network
functions (NFs) such as network address translators (NATs), load balancers, and firewalls …
