Serverless computing is growing in popularity by virtue of its lightweight and simplicity of
management. It achieves these merits by reducing the granularity of the computing unit to …

Data center clusters that run DNN training jobs are inherently heterogeneous. They have
GPUs and CPUs for computation and network bandwidth for distributed training. However …

It is commonly believed that datacenter networking software must sacrifice generality to
attain high performance. The popularity of specialized distributed systems designed …

Datacenter systems and I/O devices now run at single-digit microsecond latencies, requiring
ns-scale operating systems. Traditional kernel-based operating systems impose an …

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 …

Emerging Multicore SoC SmartNICs, enclosing rich computing resources (eg, a multicore
processor, onboard DRAM, accelerators, programmable DMA engines), hold the potential to …

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

This paper presents our design and experience with a microkernel-inspired approach to
host networking called Snap. Snap is a userspace networking system that supports Google's …

Far memory systems allow an application to transparently access local memory as well as
memory belonging to remote machines. Fault tolerance is a critical property of any practical …

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