Wang et al (2010) c-Through: Part-time Optics in Data Centers (SIGCOMM)
This paper proposed a term, HyPaC network, for hybrid of packet and circuit
switched network. The packet switched network are commodity electrical ethernet
switch and the circuit switched network is optical connections. This paper
built a HyPaC testbed, c-through.

Doyle et al (2010) An Experimental Evaluation of Distributed Rate Limiting for Cloud Computing Applications (ANCS)
Assuming there are different data centers together worked as a computation cloud. User submit job to one of the data center but the SLA upperbounded the total throughput over all data centers.

Abu-Libdeh et al (2010) Symbiotic Routing in Future Data Centers (SIGCOMM)
A paper from Microsoft Research UK. The focus is on a topology named CamCube, which is a 3D torus with no switch node. All nodes in the topology is connected to 6 other nodes to form a 3D lattice. Nodes are addressed by a 3D coordinate, . Routing is done...

Kamp (2010) You're doing it wrong (CACM)
This is written by a FreeBSD kernel developer. It discussed the effect of OS-level caching to algorithm performance. The story is that, one has to do store/retrieve operation on a heap. If the heap is made of a balanced binary tree, usually it is implemented as an array such that...
