Recently, Programmable Data Planes (PDPs) have brought new opportunities to
unprecedented innovations in network protocols and architectures. Among them …

SmartNICs are on the rise as a packet processing platform, with the trend towards a uniform
P4 programming model. However, unleashing SmartNIC packet processing performance in …

Modern programmers routinely use third-party code, and infrastructure operators deploy
software they did not write. This would not be possible without semantic interfaces …

Remote direct memory access (RDMA) has gained popularity in cloud datacenters. In
RDMA, clients bypass server CPUs and directly read/write remote memory. Recent findings …

SmartNICs have become an indispensable communication fabric and computing substrate
in today's data centers and enterprise clusters, providing in-network computing capabilities …

While systems designers are increasingly turning to hardware accelerators for performance
gains, realizing these gains is painstaking and error-prone. It can take several person …

Accelerators, such as GPUs, SmartNICs and FPGAs, are common components of research
systems today. This paper focuses on the question of how to fairly compare these systems …

With the rise of microservices, the execution environment of many cloud applications has
become a set of virtual machines or containers connected by a flexible and feature-rich …

In data center networks, applications such as dis-tributed key-value stores consume a lot of
