The monolithic server model where a server is the unit of deployment, operation, and failure
is meeting its limits in the face of several recent hardware and application trends. To improve …

Commodity computer systems contain more and more processor cores and exhibit
increasingly diverse architectural tradeoffs, including memory hierarchies, interconnects …

In this paper we introduce a runtime system to allow unmodified multi-threaded applications
to use multiple machines. The system allows threads to migrate freely between machines …

Abstract The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is now commonly used for graphics and data-
parallel computing. As more and more applications tend to accelerate on the GPU in multi …

Develo** server applications that offload computation and data to a NIC accelerator is
laborious because one has to explore the design space of decisions about data placement …

The recent discovery of the Spectre and Meltdown attacks represents a watershed moment
not just for the field of Computer Security, but also of Programming Languages. This paper …

We propose a new set of OS abstractions to support GPUs and other accelerator devices as
first class computing resources. These new abstractions, collectively called the PTask API …

PU hardware is becoming increasingly general purpose, quickly outgrowing the traditional
but constrained GPU-as-coprocessor programming model. To make GPUs easier to …

Timing channels enable data leakage that threatens the security of computer systems, from
cloud platforms to smartphones and browsers executing untrusted third-party code …

The scalability of multithreaded applications on current multicore systems is hampered by
the performance of lock algorithms, due to the costs of access contention and cache misses …
