Enhancing Performance Guarantees in Large-Scale Systems
Performance stability is fundamentally challenging because application-defined resources remain invisible to the operating system, leading to unpredictable degradation that escapes traditional system-level monitoring. Yigong Hu will present his research on making application-defined resources first-class entities for performance reasoning and control.
Learning-Directed Operating Systems
Modern applications often face performance bottlenecks due to rigid OS policies, even when resources are plentiful. Aditya Akella will present LDOS (Learning-Directed Operating System), which replaces manual policy design with data-driven, system-wide optimization.
Resilient Composition for Fault-Tolerant Cloud Applications
As cloud programming grows complex, new abstractions are vital for building correct, simple and efficient applications. Tianyu Li will introduce Resilient Composition, a method that ensures fault tolerance for applications built from distributed components.
