Resource management in a cloud environment is a hard problem, due to: the scale of
modern data centers; the heterogeneity of resource types and their interdependencies; the …

Modern web services use in-memory caching extensively to increase throughput and reduce
latency. There have been several workload analyses of production systems that have fueled …

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 …

As a cache eviction algorithm, FIFO has a lot of attractive properties, such as simplicity,
speed, scalability, and flash-friendliness. The most prominent criticism of FIFO is its low …

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

Web services rely on caching at nearly every layer of the system architecture. Commonly,
each cache is implemented and maintained independently by a distinct team and is highly …

Load balancing is critical for distributed storage to meet strict service-level objectives
(SLOs). It has been shown that a fast cache can guarantee load balancing for a clustered …

High performance distributed storage systems face the challenge of load imbalance caused
by skewed and dynamic workloads. This paper introduces Pegasus, a new storage system …

Web-scale applications are heavily reliant on memory cache systems such as Memcached
to improve throughput and reduce user latency. Small performance improvements in these …
