We present the nanoPU, a new NIC-CPU co-design to accelerate an increasingly pervasive
class of datacenter applications: those that utilize many small Remote Procedure Calls …

Datacenter operators today strive to support microsecond-latency applications while also
using their limited CPU resources as efficiently as possible. To achieve this, several recent …

The ongoing shift of cloud services from monolithic designs to mi-croservices creates high
demand for efficient and high performance datacenter networking stacks, optimized for fine …

We consider the problem of making apps fault-tolerant through replication, when apps
operate at the microsecond scale, as in finance, embedded computing, and microservices …

Responding to the" datacenter tax" and" killer microseconds" problems for memory-intensive
datacenter applications, diverse solutions including Smart NIC-based ones have been …

Low-latency online services have strict Service Level Objectives (SLOs) that require
datacenter systems to support high throughput at microsecond-scale tail latency. Dataplane …

Suboptimal scheduling decisions in operating systems, networking stacks, and application
runtimes are often responsible for poor application performance, including higher latency …

While the current literature typically focuses on load-balancing among multiple servers, in
this paper, we demonstrate the importance of load-balancing within a single machine …

The emerging paradigm of microservices decomposes online services into fine-grained
software modules frequently communicating over the datacenter network, often using …

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