Online services have become ubiquitous in technological society, the global demand for which has driven enterprises to construct gigantic datacenters that run their software. Such facilities have also recently become a substrate for third-party organizatio ...

Key-Value Stores (KVS) are foundational infrastructure components for online services. Due to their latency-critical nature, today’s best-performing KVS contain a plethora of full-stack optimizations commonly targeting read-mostly, popularity-skewed worklo ...

With emerging storage-class memory (SCM) nearing commercialization, there is evidence that it will deliver the much-anticipated high density and access latencies within only a fewfactors of DRAM. Nevertheless, the latency-sensitive nature of memory-residen ...

Large-scale online services are commonly structured as a network of software tiers, which communicate over the datacenter network using RPCs. Ongoing trends towards software decomposition have led to the prevalence of tiers receiving and generating RPCs wi ...

Data transformer apparatus comprising at least a dispatcher module (D), a reader module (R), a converter module (C) and a writer module (W). The dispatcher module (D) is configured to: receive a data transformation request (DTR) including: a first informat ...

Modern online services are shifting away from monolithic applications to loosely-coupled microservices because of their improved scalability, reliability, programmability and development velocity. Microservices communicating over the datacenter network req ...

Modern datacenters host datasets in DRAM to offer large-scale online services with tight tail-latency requirements. Unfortunately, as DRAM is expensive and increasingly difficult to scale, datacenter operators are forced to consider denser storage technolo ...

The emerging paradigm of microservices decomposes online services into fine-grained software modules frequently communicating over the datacenter network, often using Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs). Ongoing advancements in the network stack have exposed the ...
