uKharon: A Membership Service for Microsecond Applications
Rachid Guerraoui, Antoine Murat, Javier Picorel Obando, Athanasios Xygkis
Modern data center fabrics open the possibility of microsecond distributed applications, such as data stores and message queues. A challenging aspect of their development is to ensure that, besides being fast in the common case, these applications react fa ...
USENIX Association2023Brokering between tenants for an international materials acceleration platform
Giovanni Pizzi, Ivano Eligio Castelli, Francisco Fernando Ramirez
The efficient utilization of resources in accelerated materials science necessitates flexible, reconfigurable software-defined research workflows. We demonstrate a brokering approach to modular and asynchronous research orchestration to integrate multiple ...
CELL PRESS2023Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning on Graphs
Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for learning on graphs, demonstrating exceptional performance in various domains. However, as GNNs become increasingly popular, new challenges arise. One of the most pressing is the need to ensur ...
EPFL2023Hardware and Software Support for RPC-Centric Server Architecture
Online services have become ubiquitous in technological society, the global demand for which has driven enterprises to construct gigantic datacenters that run their software. Such facilities have also recently become a substrate for third-party organizatio ...
EPFL2022Hardware-Software Co-Design of an RPC Processor
The booming popularity of online services has led to a major evolution in the way these services are built and deployed. To cope with such online data-intensive services, service providers deploy several massive-scale datacenters, also referred to as wareh ...
EPFL2021Benchmarking, Analysis, and Optimization of Serverless Function Snapshots
Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Boris Robert Grot, Dmitrii Ustiugov
Serverless computing has seen rapid adoption due to its high scalability and flexible, pay-as-you-go billing model. In serverless, developers structure their services as a collection of functions, sporadically invoked by various events like clicks. High in ...
2021Equinox: Training (for Free) on a Custom Inference Accelerator
Babak Falsafi, Martin Jaggi, Louis Coulon, Ahmet Caner Yüzügüler, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira, Arash Pourhabibi Zarandi
DNN inference accelerators executing online services exhibit low average loads because of service demand variability, leading to poor resource utilization. Unfortunately, reclaiming idle inference cycles is difficult as other workloads can not execute on a ...
ACM2021Optimus Prime: Accelerating Data Transformation in Servers
Babak Falsafi, Christoph Koch, Siddharth Gupta, Mario Paulo Drumond Lages De Oliveira, Mark Johnathon Sutherland, Arash Pourhabibi Zarandi, Zilu Tian, Hussein Kassir
Modern online services are shifting away from monolithic applications to loosely-coupled microservices because of their improved scalability, reliability, programmability and development velocity. Microservices communicating over the datacenter network req ...
ACM2020The NEBULA RPC-Optimized Architecture
Babak Falsafi, Alexandros Daglis, Siddharth Gupta, Mark Johnathon Sutherland, Dionysios Pnevmatikatos
Large-scale online services are commonly structured as a network of software tiers, which communicate over the datacenter network using RPCs. Ongoing trends towards software decomposition have led to the prevalence of tiers receiving and generating RPCs wi ...
