Switches today provide a small menu of scheduling algorithms. While we can tweak
scheduling parameters, we cannot modify algorithmic logic, or add a completely new …

As an emerging and promising technology, Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) can be widely
used in many real-time systems such as Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Cyber …

Due to increasing bandwidth requirements, Ethernet technology is emerging in embedded
systems application areas such as automotive, avionics, and industrial control. In the …

In this paper we address a seemingly simple question: Is there a universal packet
scheduling algorithm? More precisely, we analyze (both theoretically and empirically) …

Packet scheduling determines the ordering of packets in a queuing data structure with
respect to some ranking function that is mandated by a scheduling policy. It is the core …

Packet schedulers play a crucial role in determining the order in which packets are served.
They achieve this by assigning a rank to each packet and sorting them based on these …

Push-In-First-Out (PIFO) queue has been extensively studied as a programmable scheduler.
To achieve accurate, large-scale, and high-throughput PIFO implementation, we propose …

Packet scheduling in switches is not programmable; operators only choose among a handful
of scheduling algorithms implemented by the manufacturer. In contrast, other switch …

Technology trends are leading to increasing number of cores on chip. All these cores
inherently share the DRAM bandwidth. The on-chip cache resources are limited and in …

This paper presents an in-depth characterization of the resiliency of more than 5 million HPC
application runs completed during the first 518 production days of Blue Waters, a 13.1 …
