POSIX abstractions in modern operating systems: the old, the new, and the missing
EuroSys '16: Proceedings of the Eleventh European Conference on Computer SystemsArticle No.: 19, Pages 1–17https://doi.org/10.1145/2901318.2901350The POSIX standard, developed 25 years ago, comprises a set of operating system (OS) abstractions that aid application portability across UNIX-based OSes. While OSes and applications have evolved tremendously over the last 25 years, POSIX, and the basic ...

Picocenter: supporting long-lived, mostly-idle applications in cloud environments
EuroSys '16: Proceedings of the Eleventh European Conference on Computer SystemsArticle No.: 37, Pages 1–16https://doi.org/10.1145/2901318.2901345Cloud computing has evolved to meet user demands, from arbitrary VMs offered by IaaS to the narrow application interfaces of PaaS. Unfortunately, there exists an intermediate point that is not well met by today's offerings: users who wish to run ...

A high performance file system for non-volatile main memory
EuroSys '16: Proceedings of the Eleventh European Conference on Computer SystemsArticle No.: 12, Pages 1–16https://doi.org/10.1145/2901318.2901324Emerging non-volatile main memories (NVMMs) provide data persistence at the main memory level. To avoid the double-copy overheads among the user buffer, the OS page cache, and the storage layer, state-of-the-art NVMM-aware file systems bypass the OS ...

vScale: automatic and efficient processor scaling for SMP virtual machines
EuroSys '16: Proceedings of the Eleventh European Conference on Computer SystemsArticle No.: 2, Pages 1–14https://doi.org/10.1145/2901318.2901321SMP virtual machines (VMs) have been deployed extensively in clouds to host multithreaded applications. A widely known problem is that when CPUs are oversubscribed, the scheduling delays due to VM preemption give rise to many performance problems ...
