Is Big Data Performance Reproducible in Modern Cloud Networks?
Performance variability has been acknowledged as a problem for over a decade by cloud practitioners and performance engineers. Yet, our survey of top systems conferences reveals that the research...
In Datacenter Performance, The Only Constant Is Change
All computing infrastructure suffers from performance variability, be it bare-metal or virtualized. This phenomenon originates from many sources: some transient, such as noisy neighbors, and...
Blueprint: Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence
In 2018, NSF funded an effort to pilot a Cyberinfrastructure Center of Excellence (CI CoE or Center) that would serve the cyberinfrastructure (CI) needs of the NSF Major Facilities (MFs) and large...
The Future of CISE Distributed Research Infrastructure
Shared research infrastructure that is globally distributed and widely accessible has been a hallmark of the networking community. This paper presents an initial snapshot of a vision for a...
Augmenting Operating Systems With the GPU
The most popular heterogeneous many-core platform, the CPU+GPU combination, has received relatively little attention in operating systems research. This platform is already widely deployed: GPUs...
LatencyLab: A DPDK-Based P4 Pipeline Latency Measurement Framework for FPGA SmartNICs
P4-programmable FPGA SmartNICs place packet processing directly on the wire, but open FPGA P4 toolflows do not expose timestamping at the pipeline boundary, so the latency a P4 program adds on the...
