Abu-Libdeh et al (2010) RACS: A Case for Cloud Storage Diversity (SoCC)

June 22, 2010 paper

This paper proposed to use multiple cloud services for storage in a RAID-like style, so that the user can prevent vendor lock-in, and provide a higher redundancy. Software is created and published. Performance evaluation is presented. [more]

Costa et al (2009) Why Should We Integrate Services, Servers, and Networking in a Data Center? (WREN)

June 22, 2010 paper

This paper challenges the idea of using, say, fat-tree in DCN because in a DCN, network bisection bandwidth and low diameter are just part of the criteria. We still have to consider resilience to failure, wiring complexity, and energy consumption. [more]

Vigfusson et al (2010) Dr. Multicast: Rx for Data Center Communication Scalability (EuroSys)

June 22, 2010 paper

IP Multicast is not used in data center but it should be beneficial. This is because of several reasons: [more]

Liao et al (2010) DPillar: Scalable Dual-Port Server Interconnection for Data Center Networks (ICCCN)

June 21, 2010 paper

This paper proposed a server-centric method to connect a large number of servers to build a data center network. [more]

Rodriguez et al (2009) Oblivious Routing Schemes in Extended Generalized Fat Tree Networks (CLUSTER)

June 21, 2010 paper

The subject of study in this paper is a generalized fat tree. It has n levels of switch and each switch can have different number of downstream and upstreams. A regular fat tree, \(k\)-ary \(n\)-tree, has each switch connects to \(k\) downstreams. [more]
