This report provides an understanding of how the UNIFY Service Provider (SP)-DevOps concept can be applied and integrated with a combined cloud and transport network NFV architecture. Specifically, the report contains technical descriptions…

We show that DNN accelerator micro-architectures and their program mappings represent specific choices of loop order and hardware parallelism for computing the seven nested loops of DNNs, which enables us to create a formal taxonomy of all…

We introduce a mapping framework for deep learning inference that takes advantage of predictable neural network behavior to plan both computation and communication ahead of time. The framework generates a unified stream of instructions and…

Hardware accelerators such as GPUs are required for real-time, low-latency inference with Deep Neural Networks (DNN). However, due to the inherent limits to the parallelism they can exploit, DNNs often under-utilize the capacity of today's…

3D reconstruction from videos has become increasingly popular for various applications, including navigation for autonomous driving of robots and drones, augmented reality (AR), and 3D modeling. This task often combines traditional…

Neural networks have become dominant computational workloads across cloud and edge platforms, but their rapid growth in model size and deployment diversity has exposed hardware bottlenecks increasingly dominated by memory movement,…

Heterogeneous computing platforms consisting of general purpose processors (GPPs) and graphics processing units (GPUs) have become commonplace in personal mobile devices and embedded systems. For years, programming of these platforms was…

The exponential emergence of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) has accelerated the research of hardware implementation of Deep Neural Network (DNN). Among all DNN processors, domain specific architectures, such as, Google's Tensor…

With more applications moving to the cloud, cloud providers need to diagnose performance problems in a timely manner. Offline processing of logs is slow and inefficient, and instrumenting the end-host network stack would violate the…

With the increasing demand for openness, flexibility, and monetization the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) of mobile network functions has become the embracing factor for most mobile network operators. Early reported field deployments…

Processing in-memory (PIM) is promising to accelerate neural networks (NNs) because it minimizes data movement and provides large computational parallelism. Similar to machine learning accelerators, application mapping, which determines the…

To amortize cost, cloud vendors providing DNN acceleration as a service to end-users employ consolidation and virtualization to share the underlying resources among multiple DNN service requests. This paper makes a case for a "preemptible"…

The hardware implementation of deep neural networks (DNNs) has recently received tremendous attention: many applications in fact require high-speed operations that suit a hardware implementation. However, numerous elements and complex…

By decoupling substrate resources, network virtualization (NV) is a promising solution for meeting diverse demands and ensuring differentiated quality of service (QoS). In particular, virtual network embedding (VNE) is a critical enabling…

Network functions (e.g., firewalls, load balancers, etc.) have been traditionally provided through proprietary hardware appliances. Often, hardware appliances need to be hardwired back to back to form a service chain providing chained…

Modern switches have packet processing capacity of up to multi-tera bits per second, and they are also becoming more and more programmable. We seek to understand whether the programmability can translate packet processing capacity to…

Network hypervisors provide the network virtualization layer for Software Defined Networking (SDN). They enable virtual network (VN) tenants to bring their SDN controllers to program their logical networks individually according to their…
