Talk, Semiconductor Research Coorporation (SRC) Conference, Austin, Texas
Presented our findings on the importance of having fine-grained control over how IO is performed on emerging hardware media like Persistent Memory and CXL and our work on building an IO-efficient key-value store that achieves high bandwidth utilization to improve its end-to-end throughput and scalability.
Talk, USENIX ATC, Invited Talk at MSR Redmond, VMware Research, Systems Lunch at UT Austin, San Diego CA, Redmond WA, Palo Alto CA, Austin TX
This talk outlines our findings on the IO bottlenecks in public blockchains and presents a new architecture RAINBLOCK that alleviates these IO bottlenecks in the critical path of processing transactions to achieve higher end-to-end transaction throughput.
Talk, USENIX HotStorage, San Diego CA, Redmond WA, Palo Alto CA, Austin TX
This talk outlines our findings on the IO overheads from the authenticated data structures used in Ethereum like the Merkle Patrica Trees and describes a new data structure that reduces the inherent IO amplification in Ethereum to achieve better IO efficiency.
Talk, OSDI'18 Posters, San Diego CA
This talk outlines our findings on the bounding the infinite state space of workload to test file systems for crash consistency and the potential for using ML models like LSTMs to identify workloads that could potentially lead to crash-consistency bugs.
