PCM: Programmable Congestion Management for Terabit RDMA NICs

Mikhail Khalilov, Timo Schneider, Tommaso Bonato +10

Datacenter congestion control (CC) and load balancing (LB) evolve rapidly as workload demands change, but deployment depends on RDMA hardware and transport interfaces. Emerging pro…

Scalable Packet Tracking on FPGAs for Erasure-Coded RDMA over Lossy WANs

Yicheng Qian, Konstantin Taranov, Yevgeny Yankilevich +5

Modern AI workloads increasingly rely on scale across architectures that interconnect multiple datacenters to form a single "AI factory", overcoming the power and cooling constrain…
