Optimizing network performance in virtual machines

Aravind Menon

In recent years, there has been a rapid growth in the adoption of virtual machine technology in data centers and cluster environments. This trend towards server virtualization is driven by two main factors: the savings in hardware cost that can be achieved ...

Reducing Buffer Space in Multipath Schemes

Maysam Yabandeh, Sajjad Zarifzadeh

One major drawback of multipath transferring schemes, which is inspired by the usage of different paths with diverse delays, is the emergence of reordering among packets of a flow. This reordering brings some substantial problems (like larger delay and buf ...

Structured random codes and sensor network coding theorems

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In the Shannon-theoretic analysis of joint source-channel coding problems, achievability is usually established via a two-stage approach: The sources are compressed into bits, and these bits are reliably communicated across the noisy channels. Random codin ...

The case for structured random codes in network capacity theorems

Michael Christoph Gastpar

Random coding arguments are the backbone of most channel capacity achievability proofs. In this paper, we show that in their standard form, such arguments are insufficient for proving some network capacity theorems: structured coding arguments, such as ran ...

In the Shannon-theoretic analysis of joint source-channel coding problems, achievability is usually established via a two-stage approach: The sources are compressed into bits' and these bits are reliably communicated across the noisy channels. Random codin ...

Adaptive media streaming over multipath networks

Dan Jurca

With the latest developments in video coding technology and fast deployment of end-user broadband internet connections, real-time media applications become increasingly interesting for both private users and businesses. However, the internet remains a best ...

Deconstructing Process Isolation

James Richard Larus

Most operating systems enforce process isolation through hardware protection mechanisms such as memory segmentation, page mapping, and differentiated user and kernel instructions. Singularity is a new operating system that uses software mechanisms to enfor ...

Temporal Streaming of Shared Memory

Anastasia Ailamaki, Babak Falsafi

Coherent read misses in shared-memory multiprocessors account for a substantial fraction of execution time in many important scientific and commercial workloads. We propose Temporal Streaming, to eliminate coherent read misses by streaming data to a proces ...

Address partitioning in DSM clusters with parallel coherence controllers

Babak Falsafi

Recent research suggests that DSM clusters can benefit from parallel coherence controllers. Parallel controllers requires address partitioning and synchronization to avoid handling multiple coherence events for the same memory address simultaneously. This ...

Computer-aided parallelization of continuous media applications: The 4D beating heart slice server

Roger Hersch

Parallel servers for I/O and compute intensive continuous media applications are difficult to develop. A server application comprises many threads located in different address spaces as well as files striped over multiple disks located on different compute ...
