We present experimental results on the single file motion of a group of robots interacting with each other through position sensors. We successfully replicate the fundamental diagram typical of these systems, with a transition from free…
We present MonkeyTree, the first system to mitigate network congestion in multi-tenant GPU clusters through job-migration based defragmentation rather than network-layer techniques. As cloud operators co-locate ML training jobs on shared,…
High-performance computing (HPC) systems increasingly support both scalable AI training and large-scale simulation workloads. Both typically rely heavily on collective communication operations. On modern supercomputers, however, network…
The cohabitation of elephants and humans has evolved into a human-elephant conflict (HEC) due to the increasing loss of historical elephant habitations. Since HEC is a substantial threat to both species, advanced sensing methods are…
Cloud computing and AI workloads are driving unprecedented demand for efficient communication within and across datacenters. However, the coexistence of intra- and inter-datacenter traffic within datacenters plus the disparity between the…
State-of-the-art congestion control algorithms for data centers alone do not cope well with transient congestion and high traffic bursts. To help with these, we revisit the concept of direct \emph{backward} feedback from switches and…
RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE) has gained significant attraction for datacenter networks due to its compatibility with conventional Ethernet-based fabric. However, the RDMA protocol is efficient only on (nearly) lossless networks,…
Congestion control algorithms rely on a variety of congestion signals (packet loss, Explicit Congestion Notification, delay, etc.) to achieve fast convergence, high utilization, and fairness among flows. A key limitation of these congestion…
In order to cope with the explosive growth of data traffic which is associated with a wide plethora of emerging applications and services that are expected to be used by both ordinary users and vertical industries, the congestion control…
To improve the application-level communication performance, scheduling of coflows, a collection of parallel flows sharing the same objective, is prevalent in modern data center networks (DCNs). Meanwhile, a hybrid-switched DCN design…
Congestion control in the current Internet is accomplished mainly by TCP/IP. To understand the macroscopic network behavior that results from TCP/IP and similar end-to-end protocols, one main analytic technique is to show that the the…
It is increasingly difficult for Internet congestion control mechanisms to obtain the feedback that they need. This lack of feedback can have severe performance implications, and it is bound to become worse. In the long run, the problem may…
Elephant-human conflict (EHC) is one of the major problems in most African and Asian countries. As humans overutilize natural resources for their development, elephants' living area continues to decrease; this leads elephants to invade the…
Today, network devices share buffer across priority queues to avoid drops during transient congestion. While cost-effective most of the time, this sharing can cause undesired interference among seemingly independent traffic. As a result,…
In the present-day, distributed applications are commonly spread across multiple datacenters, reaching out to edge and fog computing locations. The transition away from single datacenter hosting is driven by capacity constraints in…
In Internet of Things (IoT), the simple IPv6 capable electronic devices with limited hardware resources like memory and power resources are called constrained devices. Congestion is a major issue in network communications of these devices.…
The demand for computer in our daily lives has led to the proliferation of Datacenters that power indispensable many services. On the other hand, computing has become essential for some research for various scientific fields, that require…
Monitoring the traffic volumes of elephant flows, including the total byte count per flow, is a fundamental capability for online network measurements. We present an asymptotically optimal algorithm for solving this problem in terms of both…
Traditional wired data center networks (DCNs) suffer from cabling complexity, lack flexibility, and are limited by the speed of digital switches. In this paper, we alternatively develop a top-down traffic grooming (TG) approach to the…
