It is commonly believed that datacenter networking software must sacrifice generality to
attain high performance. The popularity of specialized distributed systems designed …

Emerging Multicore SoC SmartNICs, enclosing rich computing resources (eg, a multicore
processor, onboard DRAM, accelerators, programmable DMA engines), hold the potential to …

Over the past one and half years, we have been using RDMA over commodity Ethernet
(RoCEv2) to support some of Microsoft's highly-reliable, latency-sensitive services. This …

Datacenter systems and I/O devices now run at single-digit microsecond latencies, requiring
ns-scale operating systems. Traditional kernel-based operating systems impose an …

FaSST is an RDMA-based system that provides distributed in-memory transactions with
serializability and durability. Existing RDMA-based transaction processing systems use one …

Coordination services are a fundamental building block of modern cloud systems, providing
critical functionalities like configuration management and distributed locking. The major …

Modern RDMA hardware offers the potential for exceptional performance, but design
choices including which RDMA operations to use and how to use them significantly affect …

This paper focuses on the efficient scheduling on multicore systems of very fine-grain
networked tasks, which are the typical building block of online data-intensive applications …

With the emergence of byte-addressable persistent memory (PM), a cache line, instead of a
page, is expected to be the unit of data transfer between volatile and nonvolatile devices, but …

Memory disaggregation architecture physically separates CPU and memory into
independent components, which are connected via high-speed RDMA networks, greatly …
