“Surviving Failures in Bandwidth-Constrained Datacenters” at SIGCOMM’2012

Update: Camera-ready version is in my publications page!

My internship work from last Summer has been accepted for publication at SIGCOMM'2012 as well; yay!! In this piece of work, we try to allocate machines for datacenter applications with bandwidth and fault-tolerance constraints, which are at odds—allocation for bandwidth tries to put machines closer, whereas a fault-tolerant … Continue Reading ››

Spark has been accepted at NSDI’2012
