Hardware acceleration of database query processing can be done with the help of FPGAs. In particular, they are partially reconfigurable at runtime, which allows for the runtime adaption of the hardware to a variety of queries.…

Multi-tenancy for latency-critical applications leads to re-source interference and unpredictable performance. Core reconfiguration opens up more opportunities for colocation,as it allows the hardware to adjust to the dynamic performance…

We consider the setting of distributed storage system where a single file is subdivided into smaller fragments of same size which are then replicated with a common replication factor across servers of identical cache size. An incoming file…

Data intensive applications on clusters often require requests quickly be sent to the node managing the desired data. In many applications, one must look through a sorted tree structure to determine the responsible node for accessing or…

Given a database, the private information retrieval (PIR) protocol allows a user to make queries to several servers and retrieve a certain item of the database via the feedbacks, without revealing the privacy of the specific item to any…

In recent years, more people have seen their work depend on data manipulation tasks. However, many of these users do not have the background in programming required to write complex programs, particularly SQL queries. One way of helping…

Managing the transactions in real time distributed computing system is not easy, as it has heterogeneously networked computers to solve a single problem. If a transaction runs across some different sites, it may commit at some sites and may…

Decades of research have sought to improve transaction processing performance and scalability in database management systems (DBMSs). However, significantly less attention has been dedicated to the predictability of performance: how often…

Program debloating aims to enhance the performance and reduce the attack surface of bloated applications. Several techniques have been recently proposed to specialize programs. These approaches are either based on unsound strategies or…

PaPy, which stands for parallel pipelines in Python, is a highly flexible framework that enables the construction of robust, scalable workflows for either generating or processing voluminous datasets. A workflow is created from user-written…

For distributed graph processing on massive graphs, a graph is partitioned into multiple equally-sized parts which are distributed among machines in a compute cluster. In the last decade, many partitioning algorithms have been developed…

The adoption of very low latency persistent memory modules (PMMs) upends the long-established model of disaggregated file system access. Instead, by colocating computation and PMM storage, we can provide applications much higher I/O…

The widespread adoption of database middleware for supporting distributed transaction processing is prevalent in numerous applications, with heterogeneous data sources deployed across national and international boundaries. However,…

Indexing moving objects has been extensively studied in the past decades. Moving objects, such as vehicles and mobile device users, usually exhibit some patterns on their velocities, which can be utilized for velocity-based partitioning to…

This paper presents SplitBox, a scalable system for privately processing network functions that are outsourced as software processes to the cloud. Specifically, providers processing the network functions do not learn the network policies…

It is common practice to partition complex workflows into separate channels in order to speed up their completion times. When this is done within a distributed environment, unavoidable fluctuations make individual realizations depart from…

Elastic scaling is one of the central benefits provided by serverless platforms, and requires that they scale resource up and down in response to changing workloads. Serverless platforms scale-down resources by terminating previously…

Fault-tolerant distributed applications require mechanisms to recover data lost via a process failure. On modern cluster systems it is typically impractical to request replacement resources after such a failure. Therefore, applications have…

Modern applications demand high performance and cost efficient database management systems (DBMSs). Their workloads may be diverse, ranging from online transaction processing to analytics and decision support. The cloud infrastructure…

The demand for MEC has increased with the rise of data-intensive applications and 5G networks, while conventional cloud models struggle to satisfy low-latency requirements. While task offloading is crucial for minimizing latency on…
