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 …

Emerging Multicore SoC SmartNICs, enclosing rich computing resources (eg, a multicore
processor, onboard DRAM, accelerators, programmable DMA engines), hold the potential to …

Many datacenters and clouds manage storage systems separately from computing services
for better manageability and resource utilization. These existing disaggregated storage …

Programmable switches have been touted as an attractive alternative for deploying network
functions (NFs) such as network address translators (NATs), load balancers, and firewalls …

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) based network devices are increasingly being
deployed in modern data centers. RDMA brings significant performance improvements over …

Persistent memory (PM) disaggregation improves the resource utilization and failure
isolation to build a scalable and cost-effective remote memory pool. However, due to offering …

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

Cloud deployments disaggregate storage from compute, providing more flexibility to both the
storage and compute layers. In this paper, we explore disaggregation by taking it one step …

With rising network rates, cloud vendors increasingly deploy FPGA-based SmartNICs (F-
NICs), leveraging their inline processing capabilities to offload hypervisor networking …
