Cloud computing and network slicing are essential concepts of forthcoming 5G mobile
systems. Network slices are essentially chunks of virtual computing and connectivity …

Raft is a consensus algorithm for managing a replicated log. It produces a result equivalent
to (multi-) Paxos, and it is as efficient as Paxos, but its structure is different from Paxos; this …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of CONGA, a network-based
distributed congestion-aware load balancing mechanism for datacenters. CONGA exploits …

In this paper we present pFabric, a minimalistic datacenter transport design that provides
near theoretically optimal flow completion times even at the 99th percentile for short flows …

Abstract Dynamic Searchable Symmetric Encryption (DSSE) enables a client to encrypt his
document collection in a way that it is still searchable and efficiently updatable. However, all …

Current cryptocurrencies, starting with Bitcoin, build a decentralized blockchain-based
transaction ledger, maintained through proofs-of-work that also generate a monetary supply …

Memcached is a well known, simple, in memory caching solution. This paper describes how
Facebook leverages memcached as a building block to construct and scale a distributed key …

Computer systems in the near future are expected to have Non-Volatile Main Memory
(NVMM), enabled by a new generation of Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technologies, such as …

RAMCloud is a storage system that provides low-latency access to large-scale datasets. To
achieve low latency, RAMCloud stores all data in DRAM at all times. To support large …

Tachyon is a distributed file system enabling reliable data sharing at memory speed across
cluster computing frameworks. While caching today improves read workloads, writes are …
