The microservice architecture is a popular software engineering approach for building
flexible, large-scale online services. Serverless functions, or function as a service (FaaS) …

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 …

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 …

The global scale and challenging requirements of modern cloud applications have led to the
development of complex, widely distributed, service-oriented applications. One enabler of …

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

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

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

The host network integrates processor, memory, and peripheral interconnects to enable data
transfer within the host. Several recent studies from production datacenters show that …

Swarms of autonomous devices are increasing in ubiquity and size, making the need for
rethinking their hardware-software system stack critical. We present HiveMind, the first …

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 …
