R2P2: Making RPCs first-class datacenter citizens

Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias, Adrien Ghosn, Georgios Prekas, Jonas Fietz

Remote Procedure Calls are widely used to connect datacenter applications with strict tail-latency service level objectives in the scale of µs. Existing solutions utilize streaming or datagram-based transport protocols for RPCs that impose overheads and li ...

Bridging the gap between dataplanes and commodity operating systems

Georgios Prekas

The conventional wisdom is that aggressive networking requirements, such as high packet rates for small messages and microsecond-scale tail latency, are best addressed outside the kernel, in a user-level networking stack. In particular, dataplanes borrow d ...

The IX Operating System: Combining Low Latency, High Throughput, and Efficiency in a Protected Dataplan

Edouard Bugnion, Christos Kozyrakis, Georgios Prekas, Mia Primorac, Ana Klimovic

The conventional wisdom is that aggressive networking requirements, such as high packet rates for small messages and μs-scale tail latency, are best addressed outside the kernel, in a user-level networking stack. We present ix, a dataplane operating system ...

Energy Proportionality and Workload Consolidation for Latency-Critical Applications

Edouard Bugnion, Christos Kozyrakis, Georgios Prekas, Mia Primorac

Energy proportionality and workload consolidation are important objectives towards increasing efficiency in large-scale datacenters. Our work focuses on achieving these goals in the presence of applications with microsecond-scale tail latency requirements. ...
