Research paper by our partner ETHZ, accepted at the ICS ’22 International Conference on Supercomputing that took place online from 28 to 30 June 2022. Abstract C is the lingua franca of programming and almost any device can be programmed using C. However, programming modern heterogeneous architectures such as multi-core CPUs and GPUs requires explicitly […]
Research paper presented at the ACM SIGMOD/PODS Conference that took place in Philadelphia from 12 to 17 June 2022. Abstract Apache Kafka is an open-source distributed publish-subscribe system, which is widely used in data centers for messaging between applications, log aggregation, and stream processing. The existing Kafka implementation uses TCP/IP for communication, which has various […]
This research paper was accepted by the journal IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems and will be published in vol. 33, no. 12, pp. 3990-4005 in December 2022. Abstract Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) is widely used in High-Performance Computing (HPC) while making inroads in datacenters and accelerators. State-of-the-art RDMA engines typically do not […]
Research paper presented at the DATE 2022 conference (Design, Automation and Test in Europe conference) that took place online from 14 to 23 March 2022. Abstract Digital ultrasound (US) probes integrate the analog-to-digital conversion directly on the probe and can be conveniently connected to commodity devices. Existing digital probes are however limited to a relatively […]
Research paper presented at the SC21 conference (St Louis, USA and online) Abstract The allreduce operation is one of the most commonly used communication routines in distributed applications. To improve its bandwidth and to reduce network traffic, this operation can be accelerated by offloading it to network switches, that aggregate the data received from the hosts, and […]
Research paper presented at the ISCA 2021 conference (online) Abstract The capacity of offloading data and control tasks to the network is becoming increasingly important, especially if we consider the faster growth of network speed when compared to CPU frequencies. In-network compute alleviates the host CPU load by running tasks directly in the network, enabling […]
