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 Association2023When to Hedge in Interactive Services
In online data-intensive (OLDI) services, each client request typically executes on multiple servers in parallel; as a result, “system hiccups”, although rare within a single server, can interfere with many client requests and cause violations of service-l ...
USENIX2021Benchmarking of objective quality metrics for point cloud compression
Touradj Ebrahimi, Evangelos Alexiou
Point cloud is a promising imaging modality for the representation of 3D media. The vast volume of data associated with it requires efficient compression solutions, with lossy algorithms leading to larger bit-rate savings at the expense of visual impairmen ...
2021A Flexible In-Memory Computing Architecture for Heterogeneously Quantized CNNs
David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, Marco Antonio Rios, Flavio Ponzina
Inferences using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are resource and energy intensive. Therefore, their execution on highly constrained edge devices demands the careful co-optimization of algorithms and hardware. Addressing this challenge, in this paper ...
2021Efficient Workload Colocation in Modern Data Centers
Despite the high costs of acquisition and maintenance of modern data centers, machine resource utilization is often low. Servers running online interactive services are over-provisioned to support peak load (which only occurs for a fraction of the time), d ...
EPFL2019PaRiS: Causally Consistent Transactions with Non-blocking Reads and Partial Replication
Willy Zwaenepoel, Diego Didona, Kristina Spirovska
Geo-replicated data platforms are the backbone of several large-scale online services. Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC) is an attractive consistency level for building such platforms. TCC avoids many anomalies of eventual consistency, eschews the syn ...
IEEE COMPUTER SOC2019ResQ: Enabling SLOs in Network Function Virtualization
Network Function Virtualization is allowing carriers to replace dedicated middleboxes with Network Functions (NFs) consolidated on shared servers, but the question of how (and even whether) one can achieve performance SLOs with software packet processing r ...
USENIX ASSOC2018Flow control for Latency-Critical RPCs
Edouard Bugnion, Evangelos Marios Kogias
In today’s modern datacenters, the waiting time spent within a server’s queue is a major contributor of the end-to-end tail latency of μs-scale remote procedure calls. In traditional TCP, congestion control handles in-network congestion, while flow control ...
2018Heracles: Improving Resource Efficiency at Scale
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 ...
2015Multivariate Pattern Recognition for Diagnosis and Prognosis in Clinical Neuroimaging: State of the Art, Current Challenges and Future Trends
Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville
Many diseases are associated with systematic modifications in brain morphometry and function. These alterations may be subtle, in particular at early stages of the disease progress, and thus not evident by visual inspection alone. Group-level statistical c ...
