Hailstorm: Disaggregated Compute and Storage for Distributed LSM-based Databases

Willy Zwaenepoel, Laurent Bindschaedler, Ashvin Goel

Distributed LSM-based databases face throughput and latency issues due to load imbalance across instances and interference from background tasks such as flushing, compaction, and data migration. Hailstorm addresses these problems by deploying the database ...

Rock You like a Hurricane: Taming Skew in Large Scale Analytics

Nicolas Schiper, Willy Zwaenepoel, Laurent Bindschaedler, Jasmina Malicevic, Ashvin Goel

Current cluster computing frameworks suffer from load imbalance and limited parallelism due to skewed data distributions, processing times, and machine speeds. We observe that the underlying cause for these issues in current systems is that they partition ...

Track Me If You Can: On the Effectiveness of Context-based Identifier Changes in Deployed Mobile Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Imad Aad, Igor Bilogrevic, Laurent Bindschaedler, Murtuza Jadliwala, Valtteri Niemi

Location privacy is a major concern in an increasingly connected and highly pervasive network of mobile users. Novel location-based applications and device-to-device services (on these mobile devices) are gaining popularity, but at the same time, these ser ...

Making Mobile Augmented Reality A Reality

Jeffrey Huang, Laurent Bindschaedler, Hendrik Ole Knoche

Recent advances in mobile device technology have freed augmented reality (AR) applications from the constraints of desktops, laptops and head-mounted displays. But they are met with a lack of guidelines on the design and user interactions of mobile device- ...
