Had an amazing time presenting our work on a smart cache for a SmartNIC at #HotChips (Hot Chips). It was awesome getting feedback from Patrick Bosshart, a key figure behind Barefoot, P4, & Tofino. Huge thanks to my collaborators Ben Pfaff @benpfaff.bsky.social @[email protected], Gianni Antichi, and Muhammad Shahbaz!



Sparse workloads scale poorly due to network bottlenecks. Our recent work in #MICRO2025, NetSparse, pushes communication into NICs/switches to slash traffic & boost performance by up to 38x on 128 nodes! 🚀 Huge kudos to Gerasimos & team at University of Illinois and Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan! 🎉
