Non-volatile main memory (NVMM) technologies promise byte addressability and near-
DRAM access that allows developers to build persistent applications with common load and …

We propose TIPS–a framework to systematically make volatile indexes persistent. TIPS
neither places restrictions on the concurrency model nor requires in-depth knowledge of the …

The purpose of this book is to help you program shared-memory parallel systems without
risking your sanity. Nevertheless, you should think of the information in this book as a …

This paper presents NFOS, a programming model, runtime, and profiler for productively
developing software network functions (NFs) that scale on multicore machines. Writing …

We design CrossFS, a cross-layered direct-access file system disaggregated across user-
level, firmware, and kernel layers for scaling I/O performance and improving concurrency …

The bandwidth of flash storage has been surging in recent years. Employing multicores to
fully unleash its abundant bandwidth becomes a necessary step towards building high …

As data generation has been on an upward trend, storing vast volumes of data cost-
effectively as well as efficiently accessing them is paramount. At the same time, today's …

Writing a correct operating system kernel is notoriously hard. Kernel code requires manual
memory management and type-unsafe code and must efficiently handle complex …

We examine status updating systems in which time-stamped status updates are
stored/written in shared-memory. Specifically, we compare Read-Copy-Update (RCU) and …

Multiversioning is widely used in databases, transactional memory, and concurrent data
structures. It can be used to support read-only transactions that appear atomic in the …
