The project CHORYS will be funded by the EU Horizon framework! For the next four years we will seek to rethink network and storage stacks for data-intensive applications in the cloud! I will be looking for PhD students and researchers to join the effort!

📢 We had a fantastic time yesterday at the 🐝 #eBPF workshop in Sydney! A big thank you 🙏 to all the attendees who joined us both in-person & remotely, my co-organizers (Srinivas Narayana, Gianni Antichi, Aurojit Panda), the TPC members, & our amazing keynote speaker Brendan Gregg.

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!

We have opened an Assistant/Associate Professorship in Wearable Computing Cambridge Computer Science Cambridge University Please share widely and/or apply! jobs.cam.ac.uk/job/46654/ Deadline 24 November 2024.

NetGSR got into CoNEXT! We show that it is possible to reconstruct the fine-grained behavior of network data from samples with generative super resolution. This work is in collaboration with folks at University of Edinburgh!

"F3: Fast and Flexible Network Telemetry with an FPGA coprocessor" got into ACM CoNEXT! We show how an FPGA placed alongside the switching ASIC enables flexible network monitoring through partial reconfiguration! Work with folks at Harvard, Alibaba, UCL, Purdue and Meta.

"Incremental Specialization of Network Programs" got into ACM HotNets!! We make the case for building incremental compilers to quickly check if any changes in control-plane configuration affect program's implementation and only that trigger specific program optimizations!

"Application-Defined Coflow Processor" got into ACM HotNets. We make the case for a new programmable switching architecture that see (and process) network data as a set of coordinated flows (coflow) not just as packets or flows!

HotNets ‘24 accepted papers conferences.sigcomm.org/hotnets/2024/a…

Exciting news: 2025 is an odd number, which means it is a year with HotOS. The 2025 edition will be held at Banff (in Canada) in mid-May. The CFP is now out at sigops.org/s/conferences/…, papers are due on January 15th. Please submit your most fun systems idea.

Harvard CS is hiring this year: academicpositions.harvard.edu/postings/14166

I am hiring a postdoc at Cornell for systems research on next-generation multi-GPU interconnects. If you are about to graduate with a PhD in CS or a related field, email me at [email protected] with your CV and a representative publication.

At OvSCon'24, we will be presenting Emil Ståhl's master thesis work together with Red Hat on the potential of branch prediction to reduce cache misses in OVS. Materials: lnkd.in/dHREkHd5 Presentation recording: lnkd.in/dCZ87se9 cc: Gianni Antichi , Marco Chiesa

on my way to ACM SIGCOMM HotNets!! looking forward for the next two days in Los Angeles

I am recruiting PhD students for an exciting new project on ML+networking. If anyone is interested, please get in touch 🔥. (Application deadline is in January, start date Oct 2025.)

My team is working on a tool to simplify and enhance DevOps within the eBPF ecosystem. Tell us about your issues -- we can help: forms.gle/bRm1HqFckmQ26T…

From Longest Prefix Matching (LPM) to Longest Traversal Matching (LTM): Supercharging virtual switches with a Gigaflow cache. Congratulations to my student, Annus Zulfiqar, and an all-star team, including Gianni Antichi and Ben Pfaff @benpfaff.bsky.social @[email protected], for our upcoming paper in ASPLOS '25! 🎉

The eBPF workshop will run this year associated to ACM SIGCOMM again! We (Sebastiano Miano, Srinivas Narayana, Aurojit Panda,  Paul Chaignon, Eugenio Moro, myself and TPC members) are looking forward to read your exciting papers! More info soon!

📢Call for Papers 📢 The CFP for the 2025 eBPF workshop is out! 📅 Deadline: May 8th 🔗 More info: lnkd.in/dFfpTcYf Join Srinivas Narayana, Gianni Antichi, Aurojit Panda, Paul Chaignon, and me to share your #eBPF 🐝use cases or research challenges!

As AI and machine learning workloads continue to grow, solutions like Gigaflow improve virtual switches for programmable SmartNICs, delivering a 51% higher hit rate and 90% lower misses. 🔽Learn more [article]: cse.engin.umich.edu/stories/stream…… #CloudComputing #AI Muhammad Shahbaz
