LENA: Communication-Efficient Distributed Learning with Self-Triggered Gradient Uploads

Martin Jaggi, Sebastian Urban Stich, Hossein Shokri Ghadikolaei

In distributed optimization, parameter updates from the gradient computing node devices have to be aggregated in every iteration on the orchestrating server. When these updates are sent over an arbitrary commodity network, bandwidth and latency can be limi ...

Bridging the gap between dataplanes and commodity operating systems

Georgios Prekas

The conventional wisdom is that aggressive networking requirements, such as high packet rates for small messages and microsecond-scale tail latency, are best addressed outside the kernel, in a user-level networking stack. In particular, dataplanes borrow d ...

A Sensor Network Architecture for Digital SiPM-Based PET Systems

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Francesco Gramuglia

Digital silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) have emerged in the recent past as a viable low cost alternative to photomultiplier tubes in positron emission tomography systems, providing multiple timestamps, energy and scintillation coordinates at high spatial ...

A Formally Verified NAT Stack

George Candea, Solal Vincenzo Pirelli, Arseniy Zaostrovnykh

Prior work proved a stateful NAT network function to be semantically correct, crash-free, and memory safe. Their toolchain verifies the network function code while assuming the underlying kernel-bypass framework, drivers, operating system, and hardware to ...

Software Dataplane Verification

Aikaterini Argyraki, Mihai Dobrescu

The industry is in the mood for programmable networks, where an operator can dynamically deploy network functions on network devices, akin to how one deploys virtual machines on physical machines in a cloud environment. Such flexibility brings along the th ...

Building Evolvable Networks : Flexible and Predictable Packet Processing

Mihai Dobrescu

Software packet-processing platforms- - network devices running on general-purpose servers-- are emerging as a compelling alternative to the traditional high-end switches and routers running on specialized hardware. Their promise is to enable the fast dep ...

iPRP: Parallel Redundancy Protocol for IP Networks

Jean-Yves Le Boudec, Dan-Cristian Tomozei, Miroslav Popovic, Maaz Mashood Mohiuddin

Reliable packet delivery within stringent delay constraints is of primal importance to industrial processes with hard real-time constraints, such as electrical grid monitoring. Because retransmission and coding techniques counteract the delay requirements, ...

Toward Predictable Performance in Software Packet-Processing Platforms

Aikaterini Argyraki, Mihai Dobrescu

To become a credible alternative to specialized hardware, general-purpose networking needs to offer not only flexibility, but also predictable performance. Recent projects have demonstrated that general-purpose multicore hardware is capable of high-perform ...

Relational network-service clustering analysis with set evidences

Boi Faltings, Li Pu

Network administrators are faced with a large amount of network data that they need to sift through to analyze user behaviors and detect anomalies. Through a network monitoring tool, we obtained TCP and UDP connection records together with additional infor ...

Multiple source multiple destination topology inference using network coding

Christina Fragouli

n this paper, we combine network cod- ing and tomographic techniques for topology infer- ence. Our goal is to infer the topology of a network by sending probes between a given set of multiple sources and multiple receivers and by having interme- diate node ...

Trajectory sampling with unreliable reporting

Matthias Grossglauser

We define and evaluate methods to perform robust network monitoring using trajectory sampling in the presence of report loss. The first challenge is to reconstruct an unambiguous set of packet trajectories from the reports on sampled packets received at a ...

Method to manage the load of peripheral elements within a multicore system

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, Federico Angiolini

The aim of the present invention is to propose a method to provide reliability, power management and load balancing support for multicore systems based on Networks- on-Chip (NoCs) as well as a way to efficiently implement architectural support for this met ...

Secure Position-Based Routing for VANETs

Panagiotis Papadimitratos, Charles Harsch

Vehicular communication (VC) systems have the potential to improve road safety and driving comfort. Nevertheless, securing the operation is a prerequisite for deployment. So far, the security of VC applications has mostly drawn the attention of research ef ...

Web-based management of IP networks and systems

Jean-Philippe Martin-Flatin

The management of IP networks and systems is currently based on the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) and the SNMP management architecture. This poses a number of problems. Some are related to the efficiency, scalability, latency, and expressivenes ...
