Update: Coflow camera-ready is available online! Tell us what you think!
Our position paper to address the lack of a networking abstraction for cluster applications, "Coflow: A Networking Abstraction for Cluster Applications," has been accepted at the latest workshop on hot topics in networking. We make the observation that thinking in terms of flows is … Continue Reading ››Yearly Archives: 2012
Repeating CS162: Operating Systems And Systems Programming
I'm a TA for CS162 this semester again. This time it's a 10-hour GSI, so the official responsibilities will be less. But from what I've learned the last time, it won't be any easier. Hopefully, we'll be able to manage, and I'll be done with my teaching requirements in Berkeley!
Attending SIGCOMM’2012!
Attending SIGCOMM for the third time, in Helsinki. This is a particularly good year for Berkeley in SIGCOMM; we have at least one author in seven of the papers, and one of the seven, DRFQ, has won the Best Paper Award as well! I myself have two papers (improved from last time's one). If only this … Continue Reading ››
Ahimsa accepted at HotCloud’2012
Update: Camera-ready is available online! Do let us know what you think in the comments section.
Our exploratory paper on the complexity of a transfer, "Redefining Network Fairness to Support Data Parallelism," has been accepted for publication at this year's HotCloud workshop! In Orchestra, we defined the notion of transfers in the context of cluster computing, … Continue Reading ››“Surviving Failures in Bandwidth-Constrained Datacenters” at SIGCOMM’2012
Update: Camera-ready version is in my publications page!
My internship work from last Summer has been accepted for publication at SIGCOMM'2012 as well; yay!! In this piece of work, we try to allocate machines for datacenter applications with bandwidth and fault-tolerance constraints, which are at odds—allocation for bandwidth tries to put machines closer, whereas a fault-tolerant … Continue Reading ››FairCloud has been accepted at SIGCOMM’2012
Update: Camera-ready is now available online!
This is kinda old news now, but still as exciting as it was few days ago. Our paper "FairCloud: Sharing the Network in Cloud Computing" has been accepted for publication at this year's SIGCOMM. We explore the design space of sharing networks, identify tradeoffs, and place categorize different strategies … Continue Reading ››Spark wins the Best Paper Award at NSDI’2012

TAing for CS162: Operating Systems and Systems Programming
This semester I'm TAing for CS162: Operating Systems and Systems Programming taught by Anthony Joseph and Ion Stoica. Here in Berkeley, we call a TA a GSI (Graduate Student Instructor). This is my first time GSI appointment in Berkeley, and it comes after more than 2 years of break. The last time I TAed, I was … Continue Reading ››
