In this thesis, we describe a new, practical approach to integrating hardware-based data compression within the memory hierarchy, including on-chip caches, main memory, and both on-chip and off-chip interconnects. This new approach is fast,…
In Edge Computing (EC), containers have been increasingly used to deploy applications to provide mobile users services. Each container must run based on a container image file that exists locally. However, it has been conspicuously…
Any secured system can be modeled as a capability-based access control system in which each user is given a set of secret keys of the resources he is granted access to. In some large systems with resource-constrained devices, such as sensor…
Computational storage, known as a solution to significantly reduce the latency by moving data-processing down to the data storage, has received wide attention because of its potential to accelerate data-driven devices at the edge. To meet…
Big data analytics frameworks, such as Spark and Giraph, need to process and cache massive amounts of data that do not always fit on the heap. Therefore, frameworks temporarily move long-lived objects outside the managed heap (off-heap) on…
Content caching on the edge of 5G networks is an emerging and critical feature to quench the thirst for content of future connected cars. However, the tight packaging of 5G cells, the finite storage capacity at the edge, and the need for…
In a dynamic retrieval system, documents must be ingested as they arrive, and be immediately findable by queries. Our purpose in this paper is to describe an index structure and processing regime that accommodates that requirement for…
In rapid and massive data streams, it is often not possible to estimate the frequency of items with complete accuracy. To perform the operation in a reasonable amount of space and with sufficiently low latency, approximated methods are…
We present a new data structure called the \emph{Compressed Random Access Memory} (CRAM) that can store a dynamic string $T$ of characters, e.g., representing the memory of a computer, in compressed form while achieving asymptotically…
Mobile Edge Caching is a promising technique to enhance the content delivery quality and reduce the backhaul link congestion, by storing popular content at the network edge or mobile devices (e.g. base stations and smartphones) that are…
Cryptographic signatures can be used to increase the resilience of distributed systems against adversarial attacks, by increasing the number of faulty parties that can be tolerated. While this is well-studied for consensus, it has been…
Teleoperation is a key approach for collecting high-quality, physically consistent demonstrations for robotic manipulation. However, teleoperation for dexterous manipulation remains constrained by: (i) inaccurate hand-robot motion mapping,…
Temporal prefetching, where correlated pairs of addresses are logged and replayed on repeat accesses, has recently become viable in commercial designs. Arm's latest processors include Correlating Miss Chaining prefetchers, which store such…
Multimodal Large Language Models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in video understanding, yet face prohibitive computational costs and performance degradation from ''context rot'' due to massive visual token redundancy. Existing…
Many performance critical systems today must rely on performance enhancements, such as multi-port memories, to keep up with the increasing demand of memory-access capacity. However, the large area footprints and complexity of existing…
Distributed tracing serves as a fundamental building block in the monitoring and testing of cloud service systems. To reduce computational and storage overheads, the de facto practice is to capture fewer traces via sampling. However,…
Read-only caches are widely used in cloud infrastructures to reduce access latency and load on backend databases. Operators view coherent caches as impractical at genuinely large scale and many client-facing caches are updated in an…
Wireless edge caching is a popular strategy to avoid backhaul congestion in the next generation networks, where the content is cached in advance at base stations to serve redundant requests during peak congestion periods. In the edge…
Edge computing promises to reshape the centralized nature of today's cloud-based applications by bringing computing resources, at least in part, closer to the user. Reasons include the increasing need for real-time (short-delay,…
Online 3D reconstruction from streaming inputs requires both long-term temporal consistency and efficient memory usage. Although causal variants of VGGT address this challenge through a key-value (KV) cache mechanism, the cache grows…
