Programmable data plane technologies enable the systematic reconfiguration of the low-
level processing steps applied to network packets and are key drivers toward realizing the …

Modern interactive and data-intensive applications must operate under demanding time
constraints, prompting a shift toward the adoption of specialized software and hardware …

New cache coherent interconnects such as CXL have recently attracted great attention
thanks to their excellent hardware heterogeneity management and resource disaggregation …

Data center clusters that run DNN training jobs are inherently heterogeneous. They have
GPUs and CPUs for computation and network bandwidth for distributed training. However …

We present NetCache, a new key-value store architecture that leverages the power and
flexibility of new-generation programmable switches to handle queries on hot items and …

Memory disaggregation has attracted great attention recently because of its benefits in
efficient memory utilization and ease of management. So far, memory disaggregation …

Datacenter applications demand microsecond-scale tail latencies and high request rates
from operating systems, and most applications handle loads that have high variance over …

Memory is the most contended and least elastic resource in datacenter servers today.
Applications can use only local memory—which may be scarce—even though memory …

It is commonly believed that datacenter networking software must sacrifice generality to
attain high performance. The popularity of specialized distributed systems designed …

Datacenter systems and I/O devices now run at single-digit microsecond latencies, requiring
ns-scale operating systems. Traditional kernel-based operating systems impose an …
