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 ...
