HovercRaft: Achieving Scalability and Fault-tolerance for microsecond-scale Datacenter Services

Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias

Cloud platform services must simultaneously be scalable, meet low tail latency service-level objectives, and be resilient to a combination of software, hardware, and network failures. Replication plays a fundamental role in meeting both the scalability and ...

Understanding and Mitigating Latency Variability of Latency-Critical Applications

Mia Primorac

A major theme of IT in the past decade has been the shift from on-premise hardware to cloud computing. Running a service in the public cloud is practical, because a large number of resources can be bought on-demand, but this shift comes with its own set of ...

Heracles: Improving Resource Efficiency at Scale

Christos Kozyrakis

User-facing, latency-sensitive services, such as web-search, underutilize their computing resources during daily periods of low traffic. Reusing those resources for other tasks is rarely done in production services since the contention for shared resources ...
