I am a computer scientist interested in everything networked: from protocols and applications to the hardware that carries our data across the Internet. My goal is to make networks faster, more reliable, more secure, and lately, more fair and equitable.

Textbooks tell us that requests to a cache result in two possible outcomes: hits and misses. Nirav Atre discusses today at SIGCOMM 2020 that there is actually a third possible outcome: a delayed hit. Nirav shows that by optimizing for delayed hits, caches can have 45% lower latency than delayed hits unaware caches. You can read the paper here and learn more by watching the video.

When network functions share the same server, they achieve slower performance than if they run alone. But why does this happen even when the server is configured to isolate processors and NIC queues? And how can we predict the slowdown? Antonis Manousis explains today at SIGCOMM 2020. You can read the paper here or watch the video to learn more.
