The recently proposed dataplanes for microsecond scale applications, such as IX and
ZygOS, use non-preemptive policies to schedule requests to cores. For the many real-world …

In recent years, many applications have started using serverless computing platforms
primarily due to the ease of deployment and cost efficiency they offer. However, the existing …

We introduce Kuco, a novel direct-access file system architecture whose main goal is
scalability. Kuco utilizes three key techniques–collaborative indexing, two-level locking, and …

Task-based programming models like OmpSs-2 and OpenMP provide a flexible data-flow
execution model to exploit dynamic, irregular and nested parallelism. Providing an efficient …

Out-of-core systems rely on high-performance cache sub-systems to reduce the number of
I/O operations. Although the page cache in modern operating systems enables transparent …

In-memory data management systems, such as key-value stores, have become an essential
infrastructure in today's big-data processing and cloud computing. They rely on efficient …

A plethora of optimized mutex lock algorithms have been designed over the past 25 years to
mitigate performance bottlenecks related to critical sections and locks. Unfortunately, there is …

This paper presents multi-version read-log-update (MV-RLU), an extension of the read-log-
update (RLU) synchronization mechanism. While RLU has many merits including an …

Many machine learning applications operate in dynamic environments that change over
time, in which models must be continually updated to capture the recent trend in data …

Despite decades of innovation, existing hash tables fail to achieve peak performance on
modern hardware. Built around a relatively simple computation, ie, a hash function, which in …
