Vulcan: Instance-specialized, Verifiable Systems Heuristics Through LLM-driven Search
Rohit Dwivedula, Divyanshu Saxena, Sujay Yadalam +3
Systems resource management tasks rely primarily on hand-designed heuristics. However, growing hardware heterogeneity and workload diversity require heuristics specialized to parti…
Man-Made Heuristics Are Dead. Long Live Code Generators!
Rohit Dwivedula, Divyanshu Saxena, Aditya Akella +2
Policy design for various systems controllers has conventionally been a manual process, with domain experts carefully tailoring heuristics for the specific instance in which the po…
ConfigBot: Adaptive Resource Allocation for Robot Applications in Dynamic Environments
Rohit Dwivedula, Sadanand Modak, Aditya Akella +3
The growing use of service robots in dynamic environments requires flexible management of on-board compute resources to optimize the performance of diverse tasks such as navigation…
Canopy: Property-Driven Learning for Congestion Control
Chenxi Yang, Divyanshu Saxena, Rohit Dwivedula +3
Learning-based congestion controllers offer better adaptability compared to traditional heuristics. However, the unreliability of learning techniques can cause learning-based contr…
Accelerating Distributed Deep Learning using Lossless Homomorphic Compression
Haoyu Li, Yuchen Xu, Jiayi Chen +5
As deep neural networks (DNNs) grow in complexity and size, the resultant increase in communication overhead during distributed training has become a significant bottleneck, challe…
TrustRate: A Decentralized Platform for Hijack-Resistant Anonymous Reviews
Rohit Dwivedula, Sriram Sridhar, Sambhav Satija +4
Reviews and ratings by users form a central component in several widely used products today (e.g., product reviews, ratings of online content, etc.), but today's platforms for mana…
On a Foundation Model for Operating Systems
Divyanshu Saxena, Nihal Sharma, Donghyun Kim +15
This paper lays down the research agenda for a domain-specific foundation model for operating systems (OSes). Our case for a foundation model revolves around the observations that…
