Packet trimming is a primitive that has been proposed for datacenter networks: to minimize latency, switches run small queues; when the queue overflows, rather than dropping packets the switch trims off the packet payload and either…
We present a graph theoretic upper bound on speedup needed to achieve 100% throughput in a multicast switch using network coding. By bounding speedup, we show the equivalence between network coding and speedup in multicast switches - i.e.…
Collaborative edge computing (CEC) is an emerging paradigm for heterogeneous devices to collaborate on edge computation jobs. For congestible links and computing units, delay-optimal forwarding and offloading for service chain tasks (e.g.,…
Motivated by few delay-optimal scheduling results, in comparison to results on throughput optimality, we investigate a canonical input-queued switch scheduling problem in which the objective is to minimize the discounted delay cost over an…

There are many methods developed to mitigate transients induced when abruptly changing dynamic algorithms such as those found in digital filters or controllers. These "bumpless transfer" methods have a computational burden to them and take…
Squeezing transformation as an essential component, gives rise to the possibility to perform various tasks of quantum information processing. However, the reported squeezing gate with best performance so far is a conditional realization at…
We consider discrete, iterative load balancing via matchings on arbitrary graphs. Initially each node holds a certain number of tokens, defining the load of the node, and the objective is to redistribute the tokens such that eventually each…

We investigate an M/M/1 queue operating in two switching environments, where the switch is governed by a two-state time-homogeneous Markov chain. This model allows to describe a system that is subject to regular operating phases alternating…

Modern applications increasingly span across cloud, fog, and edge environments, demanding orchestration systems that can adapt to diverse deployment contexts while meeting Quality-of-Service (QoS) requirements. Standard Kubernetes…
Internet traffic continues to grow exponentially, calling for switches that can scale well in both size and speed. While load-balanced switches can achieve such scalability, they suffer from a fundamental packet reordering problem. Existing…
