SKYE: Write-Optimized Key-Value Store with Fine-Grained Control over Persistent Memory Accesses

Soujanya Ponnapalli, Sekwon Lee, Rohan Kadekodi +1

State-of-the-art key-value stores built for persistent memory (PM) provide low latency as they allow application threads to directly access the data on PM and rely on hardware to m…

Token Latency Fairness: Performance Isolation for Multi-Tenant LLM Serving

Dev Bali, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Yichuan Wang +3

LLM serving is typically offered as a shared, multi-tenant service, where high-demand workloads from one client can cause latency SLO violations for others. Existing solutions for…

The Time is Here for Just-in-Time Systems: Challenges and Opportunities

Shu Liu, Alexander Krentsel, Shubham Agarwal +8

Core systems like key-value stores have historically taken years to build, and are designed to be general so as to amortize cost across deployments, paying a significant performanc…

Real Life Is Uncertain. Consensus Should Be Too!

Reginald Frank, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Octavio Lomeli +3

Modern distributed systems rely on consensus protocols to build a fault-tolerant-core upon which they can build applications. Consensus protocols are correct under a specific failu…

Delta Fair Sharing: Performance Isolation for Multi-Tenant Storage Systems

Tyler Griggs, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Dev Bali +8

Modern storage systems, often deployed to support multiple tenants in the cloud, must provide performance isolation. Unfortunately, traditional approaches such as fair sharing do n…

Supporting Our AI Overlords: Redesigning Data Systems to be Agent-First

Shu Liu, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Shreya Shankar +12

Large Language Model (LLM) agents, acting on their users' behalf to manipulate and analyze data, are likely to become the dominant workload for data systems in the future. When wor…

Rollbaccine : Herd Immunity against Storage Rollback Attacks in TEEs [Technical Report]

David Chu, Aditya Balasubramanian, Dee Bao +4

Today, users can "lift-and-shift" unmodified applications into modern, VM-based Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) in order to gain hardware-based security guarantees. However,…

SkyStore: Cost-Optimized Object Storage Across Regions and Clouds

Shu Liu, Xiangxi Mo, Moshik Hershcovitch +11

Modern applications span multiple clouds to reduce costs, avoid vendor lock-in, and leverage low-availability resources in another cloud. However, standard object stores operate wi…

DINOMO: An Elastic, Scalable, High-Performance Key-Value Store for Disaggregated Persistent Memory (Extended Version)

Sekwon Lee, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Sharad Singhal +3

We present Dinomo, a novel key-value store for disaggregated persistent memory (DPM). Dinomo is the first key-value store for DPM that simultaneously achieves high common-case perf…

Towards Software-Defined Data Protection: GDPR Compliance at the Storage Layer is Within Reach

Zsolt Istvan, Soujanya Ponnapalli, Vijay Chidambaram

Enforcing data protection and privacy rules within large data processing applications is becoming increasingly important, especially in the light of GDPR and similar regulatory fra…

Rainblock: Faster Transaction Processing in Public Blockchains

Soujanya Ponnapalli, Aashaka Shah, Amy Tai +4

Public blockchains like Ethereum use Merkle trees to verify transactions received from untrusted servers before applying them to the blockchain. We empirically show that the low th…

Finding Crash-Consistency Bugs with Bounded Black-Box Crash Testing

Jayashree Mohan, Ashlie Martinez, Soujanya Ponnapalli +2

We present a new approach to testing file-system crash consistency: bounded black-box crash testing (B3). B3 tests the file system in a black-box manner using workloads of file-sys…
