Kernel bypass systems have demonstrated order of magnitude improvements in throughput
and tail latency for network-intensive applications relative to traditional operating systems …

Cloud function (CF) services, such as AWS Lambda, have been applied as the new
computing infrastructure in implementing analytical query engines. For bursty and sparse …

Data management systems are hungry for main memory, and cloud data centers are awash
in it. But that memory is not always easily accessible and often too expensive. To bridge this …

Cloud platforms today make efficient use of storage resources by slicing them among multi-
tenant applications on demand. However, our study discloses that the cloud storage is still …

Cloud providers often have resources that are not being fully utilized, and they may offer
them at a lower cost to make up for the reduced availability of these resources. However …

Serverless computing has been favored by users and infrastructure providers from various
industries, including online services and scientific computing. Users enjoy its auto-scaling …

Our analysis of a large public cloud ML training service shows that resources remain unused
likely because users statically (over-) allocate resources for their jobs given a desire for …

Last-level cache side-channel attacks have been mostly demonstrated in highly-controlled,
quiescent local environments. Hence, it is unclear whether such attacks are feasible in a …

We present a technique, called CFAR, that developers can use to reason precisely about
how their code, as well as third-party code, uses the CPU cache. Given a piece of systems …

The demand for memory is ever increasing. Many prior works have explored hardware
memory compression to increase effective memory capacity. However, prior works compress …
