Today's datacenter is shared among various applications with different QoS requirements, which poses a great challenge to deliver low delay transport with high throughput. Most of works address this challenge by reducing the in-network delay, but assumes a negligible local delay. However, we show that this assumption does not hold for a multi-tenant datacenter that a physical machine is shared by...
Recent advances in high-speed mobile networks have revealed new bottlenecks in ubiquitous TCP protocol deployed in the Internet. In addition to differentiating non-congestive loss from congestive loss, our experiments revealed two significant performance bottlenecks during loss recovery phase: flow control bottleneck and application stall, resulting in degradation in QoS performance. To tackle these...
When files are striped in a parallel I/O system, requests to the files are decomposed into a number of sub-requests that are distributed over multiple servers. If a request is not aligned with the striping pattern such decomposition can make the first and last sub-requests much smaller than the striping unit. Because hard-disk-based servers can be much less efficient in serving small requests than...
Recent advances in high-speed mobile networks have revealed new bottlenecks in the ubiquitous TCP protocol deployed in the Internet. In addition to differentiating random loss from congestion loss, our experiments revealed that TCP's flow control mechanism can become a significant bottleneck during TCP's loss recovery phase, resulting in bandwidth efficiency as low as 0.05. To tackle this problem...
With significant advantages in capacity, power consumption, and price, solid state disk (SSD) has good potential to be employed as an extension of DRAM (memory), such that applications with large working sets could run efficiently on a modestly configured system. While initial results reported in recent works show promising prospects for this use of SSD by incorporating it into the management of virtual...
