The power and flexibility of software-defined networks lead to a programmable network infrastructure in which in-network computation can help accelerating the performance of applications. This can be achieved by offloading some…
Key-value store is a popular type of cloud computing applications. The performance of key-value store applications have been shown to be very sensitive to load within the data center, and in particular to latency. As load within data center…
Virtualisation first and cloud computing later has led to a consolidation of workload in data centres that also comprises latency-sensitive application domains such as High Performance Computing and telecommunication. These types of…
The emergence of programmable data planes, and particularly switches supporting the P4 language, has transformed network security by enabling customized, line-rate packet processing. These switches, originally intended for flexible…
By extending the traditional store-and-forward mechanism, network coding has the capability to improve a network's throughput, robustness, and security. Given the fundamentally different packet processing required by this new paradigm and…
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…
Convolutional Neural Networks have dramatically improved in recent years, surpassing human accuracy on certain problems and performance exceeding that of traditional computer vision algorithms. While the compute pattern in itself is…
By programming both the data plane and the control plane, network operators can adapt their networks to their needs. Thanks to research over the past decade, this concept has more formulized and more technologically feasible. However, since…
Coordination services are a fundamental building block of modern cloud systems, providing critical functionalities like configuration management and distributed locking. The major challenge is to achieve low latency and high throughput…
Traditionally, switches only provide forwarding services and have no credits on computation in distributed computing frameworks. The emerging programmable switches make in-network computing (INC) possible, i.e., offloading some computation…
In-memory (transactional) data stores are recognized as a first-class data management technology for cloud platforms, thanks to their ability to match the elasticity requirements imposed by the pay-as-you-go cost model. On the other hand,…
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource---one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, and opportunistic. This type of resource has been used…
The rapid growth of data-intensive applications such as generative AI, scientific simulations, and large-scale analytics is driving modern supercomputers and data centers toward increasingly heterogeneous and tightly integrated…
Network programmability is an area of research both defined by its potential and its current limitations. While programmable hardware enables customization of device operation, tailoring processing to finely tuned objectives, limited…
In-network computation represents a transformative approach to addressing the escalating demands of Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads on network infrastructure. By leveraging the processing capabilities of network devices such as…
Traditionally, the data plane has been designed with fixed functions to forward packets using a small set of protocols. This closed-design paradigm has limited the capability of the switches to proprietary implementations which are…
The transition from monolithic architecture to microservices has enhanced flexibility in application design and its scalable execution. This approach typically uses a computing cluster managed by a container orchestration platform to deploy…
In-network computing using programmable networking hardware is a strong trend in networking that promises to reduce latency and consumption of server resources through offloading to network elements (programmable switches and smart NICs).…
Emerging programmable dataplanes will revamp communication networks, allowing programmers to reconfigure and tailor switches towards their need, in a protocol-independent manner. While the community has articulated well the benefits of such…
Distributed computing has become a common practice nowadays, where the recent focus has been given to the usage of smart networking devices with in-network computing capabilities. State-of-the-art switches with near-line rate computing and…
