Proceedings Article
Towards high-performance application-level storage management
Simon Peter,Jialin Li,Doug Woos,Irene Zhang,Dan R. K. Ports,Thomas Anderson,Arvind Krishnamurthy,Mark Zbikowski +7 more
TL;DR: A radical re-architecture of the traditional operating system storage stack is proposed to move the kernel off the data path to dramatically reduce the CPU overhead of storage operations while improving application flexibility.
Interposition as an Operating System Extension Mechanism
TL;DR: A prototype extension mechanism, SLIC, which utilizes interposition to efficiently insert trusted extension code into a production operating system kernel, and performance measurements show that interposition on existing kernel interfaces can be accomplished efficiently.

Radiatus: a Shared-Nothing Server-Side Web Architecture
Raymond Cheng,William D. Scott,Paul Ellenbogen,Jon Howell,Franziska Roesner,Arvind Krishnamurthy,Thomas Anderson +6 more
TL;DR: This paper designs and evaluates Radiatus, a shared-nothing web framework where application-specific computation and storage on the server is contained within a sandbox with the privileges of the end-user, and introduces a distributed capabilities system to allow fine-grained secure resource sharing across the many distributed services that compose an application.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Talek: Private Group Messaging with Hidden Access Patterns
Raymond Cheng,William G. Scott,Elisaweta Masserova,Irene Zhang,Vipul Goyal,Thomas Anderson,Arvind Krishnamurthy,Bryan Parno +7 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates a 3-server Talek cluster that achieves throughput of 9,433 messages/second for 32,000 active users with 1.7-second end-to-end latency, and suggests that this is a pragmatic point in the design space, since it supports strong privacy and good performance.
Dissertation
Practical and efficient internet routing with competing interests
TL;DR: Wiser is a protocol that shows it is possible to achieve efficient global routing in practice even when ISPs select paths in their own interests, and is close to that of an ideal routing that globally optimizes network paths for metrics such as path length or band width provisioning.
