In this article, we survey existing academic and commercial efforts to provide Field-
Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) acceleration in datacenters and the cloud. The goal is a …

Data center networks usually employ the scale-out model to provide high bisection
bandwidth for applications. A large amount of data is required to be transferred frequently …

Datacenter transports aim to deliver low latency messaging together with high throughput.
We show that simple packet delay, measured as round-trip times at hosts, is an effective …

Datacenter networks deal with a variety of workloads, ranging from latency-sensitive small
flows to bandwidth-hungry large flows. Load balancing schemes based on flow hashing, eg …

Datacenter networks require efficient multi-path load balancing to achieve high bisection
bandwidth. Despite much progress in recent years towards addressing this challenge, a …

Production datacenters operate under various uncertainties such as traffic dynamics,
topology asymmetry, and failures. Therefore, datacenter load balancing schemes must be …

In order to meet their stringent dependability requirements, most modern packet-switched
communication networks support fast-recovery mechanisms in the data plane. While …

We present a new, host-based design for link load balancing and report the first experiences
of link imbalance in datacenters. Our design, PLB (Protective Load Balancing), builds on …

Datacenters are characterized by their large scale, stringent reliability requirements, and
significant application diversity. However, the realities of employing hardware with small but …

The difficulty in gaining visibility into the fine-timescale hop-level congestion state of
networks has been a key challenge faced by congestion control (CC) protocols for decades …
