Far memory systems allow an application to transparently access local memory as well as
memory belonging to remote machines. Fault tolerance is a critical property of any practical …

This paper presents the two generations of storage network stacks that reduced the average
I/O latency of Alibaba Cloud's EBS service by 72% in the last five years: Luna, a user-space …

Remote memory techniques are gaining traction in datacenters because they can
significantly improve memory utilization. A popular approach is to use kernel-level, page …

Responding to the" datacenter tax" and" killer microseconds" problems for memory-intensive
datacenter applications, diverse solutions including Smart NIC-based ones have been …

Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) has been used to accelerate a variety of distributed
systems, by providing low-latency, CPU-bypassing access to a remote host's memory …

SmartNICs have recently emerged as an appealing device for accelerating distributed
systems. However, there has not been a comprehensive characterization of SmartNICs, and …

Distributed in-memory caching is a key component of modern Internet services. Such caches
are often accessed via remote procedure call (RPC), as RPC frameworks provide rich …

With rapid advances in network hardware, far memory has gained a great deal of traction
due to its ability to break the memory capacity wall. Existing far memory systems fall into one …

The requirements arising from ever growing amounts of data and tight performance
constraints as well as the limitations encountered in improving conventional CPU …

Combining persistent memory (PM) with RDMA is a promising approach to performant
replicated distributed key-value stores (KVSs). However, existing replication approaches do …
