Data-intensive applications in data centers, especially machine learning (ML), have made the network a bottleneck, which in turn has motivated the development of more efficient network protocols and infrastructure. For instance, remote…

From hardware offloads like RDMA to software ones like eBPF, offloads are everywhere and their value is in performance. However, there is evidence that fully offloading -- even when feasible -- does not always give the expected speedups.…

Extended Asynchronous DRAM Refresh (eADR) proposed by Intel extends the persistence domain from the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) to CPU caches and offers the persistence guarantee. Due to allowing lazy persistence and decreasing the amounts of…

The memory demand of virtual machines (VMs) is increasing, while DRAM has limited capacity and high power consumption. Non-volatile memory (NVM) is an alternative to DRAM, but it has high latency and low bandwidth. We observe that the VM…
