Serverless computing promises an efficient, low-cost compute capability in cloud
environments. However, existing solutions, epitomized by open-source platforms such as …

Modern interactive and data-intensive applications must operate under demanding time
constraints, prompting a shift toward the adoption of specialized software and hardware …

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

We present evidence and characterization of host congestion in production clusters:
adoption of high-bandwidth access links leading to emergence of bottlenecks within the host …

Traffic classification is essential for cybersecurity maintenance and network management,
and has been widely used in QoS (Quality of Service) guarantees, intrusion detection, and …

Datacenter Parallel Iterative Matching (dcPIM) is a proactive data-center transport design
that simultaneously achieves near-optimal tail latency for short flows and near-optimal …

Dedicated, tightly integrated, and static packet processing pipelines in today's most widely
deployed network stacks preclude them from fully exploiting capabilities of modern …

The conventional wisdom in systems and networking communities is that congestion
happens primarily within the network fabric. However, adoption of high-bandwidth access …

Careful orchestration of requests at a datacenter server is crucial to meet tight tail latency
