We consider the problem of transposing tensors of arbitrary dimension and describe TTC, an open source domain-specific parallel compiler. TTC generates optimized parallel C++/CUDA C code that achieves a significant fraction of the system's…

Due to rapid advancement in modern technology, as one of the major concerns is the stability of business. The organizations depend on their systems to provide robust and faster processing of information for their operations. Efficient data…

Transmission control protocol (TCP) congestion control is one of the key techniques to improve network performance. TCP congestion control algorithm identification (TCP identification) can be used to significantly improve network…

Vision transformers (ViTs) have achieved promising results on a variety of Computer Vision tasks, however their quadratic complexity in the number of input tokens has limited their application specially in resource-constrained settings.…

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…

BitTorrent has recently introduced LEDBAT, a novel application-layer congestion control protocol for data exchange. The protocol design starts from the assumption that network bottlenecks are at the access of the network, and that thus user…

There are various TCP variants such as Reno, Tahoe, Vegas, SACK and so on. These variants implement algorithms that handle congestion control. In our experiments we have used these variants to measure their performance such as throughput,…

This paper deals with congestion control in a software defined network (SDN) setting. Presently, explicit router schemes, such as Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN), work in conjunction with the TCP protocol to handle congestion in a…

To meet the timing requirements of interactive applications, the no-frills congestion-agnostic transport protocols like UDP are increasingly deployed side-by-side in the same network with congestion-responsive TCP. In cloud platforms, even…

Congestion Control (CC) plays a fundamental role in optimizing traffic in Data Center Networks (DCN). Currently, DCNs mainly implement two main CC protocols: DCTCP and DCQCN. Both protocols -- and their main variants -- are based on…

Memory dominates datacenter system cost and power. Memory expansion via Compute Express Link (CXL) is an effective way to provide additional memory at lower cost and power, but its effective use requires software-level tiering for…

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) utilizes congestion avoidance and control mechanisms as a preventive measure against congestive collapse and as an adaptive measure in the presence of changing network conditions. The set of available…

Queues allow network operators to control traffic: where queues build, they can enforce scheduling and shaping policies. In the Internet today, however, there is a mismatch between where queues build and where control is most effectively…

Millimeter wave frequencies will likely be part of the fifth generation of mobile networks and of the 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard. MmWave communication indeed provides a very large bandwidth, thus an increased cell throughput, but how to…

Message passing programs commonly use buffers to avoid unnecessary synchronizations and to improve performance by overlapping communication with computation. Unfortunately, using buffers makes the program no longer portable, potentially…

Generating and distributing remote entangled pairs (EPs) is a primary function of quantum networks, as entanglement is the fundamental resource for key quantum network applications. A critical performance metric for quantum networks is the…

To keep up with increasing demands on quality of experience, assessing and understanding the performance of network connections is crucial for web service providers. While different measures, like TCP options, alternative transport layer…

In the online packet buffering problem (also known as the unweighted FIFO variant of buffer management), we focus on a single network packet switching device with several input ports and one output port. This device forwards unit-size,…

Cluster orchestrators such as Kubernetes depend on accurate estimates of node capacity and job requirements. Inaccuracies in either lead to poor placement decisions and degraded cluster performance. In this paper, we show that in densely…

The increasing demand for memory in hyperscale applications has led to memory becoming a large portion of the overall datacenter spend. The emergence of coherent interfaces like CXL enables main memory expansion and offers an efficient…
