Distributed filesystem metadata updates are typically synchronous. This creates inherent challenges for access efficiency, load balancing, and directory contention, especially under dynamic and skewed workloads. This paper argues that…
The number of Low Earth Orbit~(LEO) satellites has grown enormously in the past years. Their abundance and low orbits allow for low latency communication with a satellite almost anywhere on Earth, and high-speed inter-satellite laser…
Serverless computing has emerged as a promising computing paradigm for edge computing. However, adopting the event driven model in highly dynamic, heterogeneous, and distributed edge systems poses significant challenges in request placement…
Distributed storage systems typically maintain strong consistency between data nodes and metadata nodes by adopting ordered writes: 1) first installing data; 2) then updating metadata to make data visible.We propose SwitchDelta to…
It is a big challenge for resource-limited mobile devices (MDs) to execute various complex and energy-consumed mobile applications. Fortunately, as a novel computing paradigm, edge computing (MEC) can provide abundant computing resources to…
Redundancy-d (R(d)) is a load balancing method used to route incoming jobs to K servers, each with its own queue. Every arriving job is replicated into 2<=d<=K tasks, which are then routed to d servers chosen uniformly at random. When the…
Metadata hotspots remain one of the key obstacles to scalable Input/Output (I/O) in both High-Performance Computing (HPC) and cloud-scale storage environments. Situations such as job start-ups, checkpoint storms, or heavily skewed namespace…
Cloud-based serverless computing is an increasingly popular computing paradigm. In this paradigm, different services have diverse computing requirements that justify deploying an inconsistently Heterogeneous Computing (HC) system to…
Connection-less, packet-switched quantum network architectures distribute entanglement across multi-hop paths through sequential entanglement swapping, in which each node acts on purely local state information. The architectural advantages…
Multi-robot systems in automated warehouses must manage continuous streams of pickup-and-delivery tasks while ensuring efficiency and safety. Prior work on Multi-Agent Pickup-and-Delivery (MAPD) has largely focused on the one-to-one…
