Towards Online Code Specialization of Systems
Vaastav Anand, Deepak Garg, Antoine Kaufmann
Specializing low-level systems to specifics of the workload they serve and platform they are running on often significantly improves performance. However, specializing systems is d…
It's the People, Not the Placement: Rethinking Allocations in Post-Moore Clouds
Tejas Harith, Antoine Kaufmann
The Cambrian explosion of new accelerators, driven by the slowdown of Moore's Law, has created significant resource management challenges for modern IaaS clouds. Unlike the homogen…
Columbo: Low Level End-to-End System Traces through Modular Full-System Simulation
Jakob Görgen, Vaastav Anand, Hejing Li +2
Fully understanding performance is a growing challenge when building next-generation cloud systems. Often these systems build on next-generation hardware, and evaluation in realist…
SplitSim: Large-Scale Simulations for Evaluating Network Systems Research
Hejing Li, Praneeth Balasubramanian, Marvin Meiers +2
When physical testbeds are out of reach for evaluating a networked system, we frequently turn to simulation. In today's datacenter networks, bottlenecks are rarely at the network p…
Protected Data Plane OS Using Memory Protection Keys and Lightweight Activation
Yihan Yang, Zhuobin Huang, Antoine Kaufmann +1
Increasing data center network speed coupled with application requirements for high throughput and low latencies have raised the efficiency bar for network stacks. To reduce substa…
