The adoption of low latency persistent memory modules (PMMs) upends the long-
established model of remote storage for distributed file systems. Instead, by colocating …

Although it is possible to increase confidence in free and open source software by reviewing
its source code, trusting code is not the same as trusting its executable counterparts. This …

Container-based virtualization has become the de-facto standard for deploying applications
in data centers. However, deployed containers frequently include a wide-range of tools (eg …

AWS Lambda is a serverless event-driven compute service, part of a category of cloud
compute offerings sometimes called Function-as-a-service (FaaS). When we first released …

While Confidential Virtual Machines (CVMs) have emerged as a prominent way for

User file systems offer numerous advantages over their in-kernel implementations, such as
ease of development and better system reliability. However, they incur heavy performance …

Deep learning (DL) jobs use multi-dimensional parallelism, ie, combining data, model, and
pipeline parallelism, to use large GPU clusters efficiently. Long-running jobs may …

Storage backends of parallel compute clusters are still based mostly on magnetic disks,
while newer and faster storage technologies such as flash-based SSDs or non-volatile …

The existing methods of ransomware detection have limitations. To be specific, static
analysis is not effective to obfuscated binaries, while dynamic analysis is usually restricted to …
