Datacenter applications expect microsecond-scale service times and tightly bound tail
latency, with future workloads expected to be even more demanding. To address this …

Careful orchestration of requests at a datacenter server is crucial to meet tight tail latency
requirements and ensure high throughput and optimal CPU utilization. Orchestration is multi …

Memory-bound stalls account for a significant portion of CPU cycles in datacenter
workloads, which makes harvesting them to execute other useful work highly valuable …

On any modern computer architecture today, parallelism comes with a modest cost, born
from the creation and management of threads or tasks. Today, programmers battle this cost …

A longstanding performance challenge in datacenter-based applications is how to efficiently
handle incoming client requests that spawn many very short (μs scale) jobs that must be …

This thesis demonstrates that it is feasible for systems code to expose a latency interface that
describes its latency and related side effects for all inputs, just like the code's semantic …

The Enzian research computer offers a unique platform for testing novel cache coherence
protocols in hardware with its 48-core ThunderX CPU and FPGA connected over a coherent …
