TL;DR: Bidl as mentioned in this paper is the first permissioned blockchain framework highly optimized for datacenter networks, which carries a sequencer to parallelize the consensus protocol and transaction execution speculatively.

TL;DR: vPipe as mentioned in this paper provides dynamic layer partitioning and memory management for pipeline parallelism by searching a near-optimal partitioning/memory management plan and live layer migration protocol for rebalancing the layer distribution across a training pipeline.

TL;DR: OWL is the first practical tool that models general concurrency attacks' implicit consequences and automatically detects them, and eliminates 94.1% of the reports generated by existing concurrency bug detectors as false positive, greatly reducing developers' efforts on diagnosis.

TL;DR: Uranus effectively tackles the two major vulnerabilities in the code-reuse approach by presenting two new protocols: a Java bytecode attestation protocol for dynamically loaded functions; and an OS-decoupled, efficient GC protocol optimized for data-handling applications running in enclaves.

TL;DR: This paper proposes NFVactor, a novel NFV system that aims to provide lightweight failure resilience and high-performance flow migration by using actor model to provide a per-flow execution environment, so that each flow can replicate and migrate itself with improved parallelism.
