The Data Center Systems Laboratory (DCSL) would like to congratulate:
Ms. Neelu Kalani as one of the new winners of the Qualcomm Innovation Fellowship Europe Rewards Excellent Research – Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. for 2024
Dr. Marios Kogias for the Dennis M. Ritchie Thesis Award 2021
The Data Center Systems Laboratory (DCSL) focuses on systems-level problems within datacenters combining operating systems, networks, and computer architecture.
The group publishes its research in top conferences such as SOSP, OSDI, NSDI, Eurosys, USENIX ATC, ASPLOS, ISCA, MICRO, SoCC. All software is open-sourced at the time of publication.
Current projects include :
- The Tyche Project: An initiative to rethink how trust is derived in computer systems.
- SIRD: A Sender-Informed, Receiver-Driven Datacenter Transport Protocol
- Koma: A framework for user-defined TCP traffic scheduling
Selected past projects include:
- IX – A Protected Data Plane Operating System for High Throughput and Low Latency (OSDI 2014, SoCC 2015, ACM TOCS 2016)
