Near Data Computing from a Database Systems Perspective
The end of Dennard scaling has exposed a widening gap between the demand to process ever-growing datasets and the capability of modern computers to do so. In a quest to make data processing faster and more power-efficient, researchers are revisiting the decades-old...
The Looming Network Wall in Data-Intensive Computing
Fast, RDMA-capable networks present a “network wall” for data-intensive applications in a data center. Software developers are facing two unpalatable choices: either communicate using messages and re-implement features of TCP/IP in their application, or...
Towards Predictable Performance for Interactive Workloads
… today it is hard for software developers to drill down to determine the root causes of performance fluctuations.
Accelerators in data centers: the systems perspective
In this blogpost I share what I learned at the Seventh Workshop on Multi-core and Rack-scale Systems (MaRS) co-located with the EuroSYS Conference on Computer Systems held in Belgrade in April. It is a small but vigorous interdisciplinary workshop that focuses on the...Subscribe
