DESCRIPTION:Prof. Adam Belay\, Associated Professor\, MIT\nAbstract: In th
 is talk\, I will present Junction\, a new operating system for the next ge
 neration of datacenters. Today’s datacenter applications are outgrowing 
 the capabilities of existing operating systems. For example\, they struggl
 e to take advantage of recent improvements in datacenter networks\, and th
 ey suffer from poor performance when other applications share a machine. A
 t the same time\, hardware is evolving to support more direct execution\, 
 or the ability to access once-privileged hardware features without going t
 hrough the kernel. I will discuss our effort to combine the latest hardwar
 e support for direct execution with a new kernel design that focuses on fi
 ne-grained\, microsecond-scale sharing of resources to deliver superior pe
 rformance\, security\, and resource utilization.\n\nBio: Adam Belay is an 
 Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of 
 Technology\, where he works on operating systems\, runtime systems\, and d
 istributed systems. During his Ph.D. at Stanford\, he developed Dune\, a s
 ystem that safely exposes privileged CPU instructions to userspace\; and I
 X\, a dataplane operating system that significantly accelerates I/O perfor
 mance. Dr. Belay’s current research interests lie in developing systems 
 that cut across hardware and software layers to increase datacenter effici
 ency and performance. He is a member of the Parallel and Distributed Opera
 ting Systems Group\, and a recipient of a Google Faculty Award\, a Faceboo
 k Research Award\, and the Stanford Graduate Fellowship. http://abelay.me
