Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Service Function Chaining (SFC) have been widely used to enable flexible and agile network management. To enhance reliability, some research has proposed to deploy backup function instances for…

Data processing systems are increasingly deployed in the cloud. While monolithic systems run fully on virtual servers, recent systems embrace cloud infrastructure and utilize the disaggregation of compute and storage to scale them…

Automated theorem proving systems built on Lean 4 increasingly rely on parallel tactic search over partially specified proofs, such as those generated by Draft-Sketch-Prove (DSP) pipelines. In current systems, each search branch…

In this work, we present X-HEEP, an open-source, configurable, and extendible RISC-V platform for ultra-low-power edge applications (TinyAI). X-HEEP features the eXtendible Accelerator InterFace (XAIF), which enables seamless integration of…

Despite many advances in query optimization, indexing techniques, and data storage, modern data platforms still face difficulties in delivering robust query performance under high concurrency and computationally intensive queries. This…

Serverless computing -- an emerging cloud-native paradigm for the deployment of applications and services -- represents an evolution in cloud application development, programming models, abstractions, and platforms. It promises a real…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms and "serverless" cloud computing are becoming increasingly popular. Current FaaS offerings are targeted at stateless functions that do minimal I/O and communication. We argue that the benefits of…

Spark is an in-memory analytics platform that targets commodity server environments today. It relies on the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) to persist intermediate checkpoint states and final processing results. In Spark, immutable…

In this paper we propose a method for analyzing services deployed in serverless platforms. These services typically consists of orchestrated functions that can exhibit complex and non-conservative information flows due to the interaction of…

In today's enterprise storage systems, supported data services such as snapshot delete or drive rebuild can cause tremendous performance interference if executed inline along with heavy foreground IO, often leading to missing SLOs (Service…

Fog computing can support IoT services with fast response time and low bandwidth usage by moving computation from the cloud to edge devices. However, existing fog computing frameworks have limited flexibility to support dynamic service…

Memory disaggregation over RDMA can improve the performance of memory-constrained applications by replacing disk swapping with remote memory accesses. However, state-of-the-art memory disaggregation solutions still use data path components…

Hardware accelerators like GPUs are now ubiquitous in data centers, but are not fully supported by common cloud abstractions such as Functions as a Service (FaaS). Many popular and emerging FaaS applications such as machine learning and…

The promise of ultimate elasticity and operational simplicity of serverless computing has recently lead to an explosion of research in this area. In the context of data analytics, the concept sounds appealing, but due to the limitations of…

Stream processing is a compute paradigm that promises safe and efficient parallelism. Modern big-data problems are often well suited for stream processing's throughput-oriented nature. Realization of efficient stream processing requires…

This paper proposes a new concurrent heap algorithm, based on a stateless shape property, which efficiently maintains balance during insert and removeMin operations implemented with hand-over-hand locking. It also provides a O(1)…

Nowadays, tiered architectures are widely accepted for constructing large scale information systems. In this context application servers often form the bottleneck for a system's efficiency. An application server exposes an object oriented…

Concurrency Control (CC) ensuring consistency of updated data is an essential element of OLTP systems. Recently, hybrid transactional/analytical processing (HTAP) systems developed for executing OLTP and OLAP have attracted much attention.…

All data is not equally popular. Often, some portion of data is more frequently accessed than the rest, which causes a skew in popularity of the data items. Adapting to this skew can improve performance, and this topic has been studied…

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…
