The Cloud computing paradigm has revolutionised the computer science horizon during the
past decade and has enabled the emergence of computing as the fifth utility. It has captured …

With the widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT), the number of connected
devices is growing at an exponential rate, which is contributing to ever-increasing, massive …

Large cloud service providers have invested in increasingly larger datacenters to house the
computing infrastructure required to support their services. Accordingly, researchers and …

We present our approach for overcoming the cost, operational complexity, and limited scale
endemic to datacenter networks a decade ago. Three themes unify the five generations of …

Over the past one and half years, we have been using RDMA over commodity Ethernet
(RoCEv2) to support some of Microsoft's highly-reliable, latency-sensitive services. This …

Modern datacenter networks provide very high capacity via redundant Clos topologies and
low switch latency, but transport protocols rarely deliver matching performance. We present …

In this paper, we review the background and state-of-the-art of big data. We first introduce
the general background of big data and review related technologies, such as could …

Recent technological advancements have led to a deluge of data from distinctive domains
(eg, health care and scientific sensors, user-generated data, Internet and financial …

Datacenter networks employ multi-rooted topologies (eg, Leaf-Spine, Fat-Tree) to provide
large bisection bandwidth. These topologies use a large degree of multipathing, and need a …

One of the major applications of future generation parallel and distributed systems is in big-
data analytics. Data repositories for such applications currently exceed exabytes and are …
