EDIC Candidacy Exam:
Exam president: Prof. Willy Zwaenepoel
Thesis Director: Prof. Christos Kozyrakis
Thesis co-director: Prof. Edouard Bugnion
Co-examiner: Prof. James Larus
Background papers:
MICA: A Holistic Approach to Fast In-Memory Key-Value Storage
IX: A Protected Dataplane Operating System for High Throughput and Low Latency
Decentralized Task-Aware Scheduling for Data Centre Networks
Abstract:
Building and deploying applications with strict latency service level objectives in the scale of microseconds requires a holistic approach that includes the application itself, the operating system and the underlying networking infrastructure. In this proposal I try to identify the main causes of latency variability that lead to tail-latency and I present three systems that tackle the low-latency challenge from a different perspective. MICA is a low-latency application that introduces application specific optimizations. IX is a dataplane operating system, while Barat introduces a low-latency perspective in networking. Finally, understanding the challenge of performance-debugging latency-critical applications and the lack of equivalent tooling, I propose my research topic that is related to tools and methodologies around low-latency measurement.
