"Enso: A Streaming Interface for NIC-Application Communication" https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2023/0... We've been using the same API to communicate with ou…

This is also a good (applied, with simple code) example of the use of probabilistic programming. I can't get myself to read full books, but somehow this simple example gave me some…

For everyone else who may be similarly confused as I, due to associating this with Golang or the direction of a startup: take this title literally. Subtitle is "Neuroscientists dis…

I really support this and am an avid cyclist myself. But this really only works in temperate (and dry) climates. If it rains, we'll have a hard time to convince people to use somet…

It turns out that most caching algorithms we use in practice (CDNs, memcached, storage, etc.) are still pretty far from the optimal hit ratio/ miss ratio. See, e.g., recent work th…

Yes, that paper LHD (from a colleague of mine) does use online stochastic modeling of the workload to make better decisions. So this definitely fits the bill

No, we do not expect any licensing problems. There's an open issue on github: https://github.com/dasebe/robinhoodcache/issues/1 The issue mentions 3 Clause BSD, which will probably…

Author here: thank you pointing out the connection to parallel DBMs - I was not aware of the problem similarity but difference in approach. Can you point me to a DBMs that does tha…

Author here: this is very much a research project with the purpose of prototyping the idea that caching can help tail latency . Previously, people didn't believe that caches can be…

Haven't tested this, and it's a true concern. But I would hope there's some truth to emission reductions as having a comprehensive pass (includes bikes, buses, and Helsinkis good s…

In other countries suburban villages have been growing for centuries before cars became available (at least in parts of Europe). So, one can live in these villages without a car an…

I'm teaching an intro distributed systems class and would like to share this with my students. I was wondering about how general the linked interview prepwork is. Are the Anki card…

I'm at a large research school teaching computer science. Anecdotally, I have not received pressure from administrators. I have gotten pointers about the expected number of As and …

I'm using the Autolab project from CMU, and I'm quite satisfied. You'll need a couple machines to self host, and run the student's code. http://www.autolabproject.com Features: Aut…

Is there a chance you can point us to a code snippet of said cache algorithm, or elaborate a bit? If it's simple and elegant in hindsight this insight might be interesting in other…

I've tested JuNest extensively (with the idea of getting new gcc compiler features on a cluster running an old red hat version). Unfortunately, JuNest adds a lot more overhead than…
