Coalescing RDMA and Persistent Memory (PM) delivers high end-to-end performance for networked storage systems, which requires rethinking the design of efficient hash structures. In general, existing hashing schemes separately optimize RDMA and PM, thus partially addressing the problems of RDMA Access Amplification and High-Overhead PM Consistency. In order to address these problems, we propose a continuity hashing, which is a one-stone-two-birds design to optimize both RDMA and PM. The continuity hashing leverages a fine-grained contiguous shared region, called SBuckets, to provide standby positions for the neighbouring two buckets in case of hash collisions. In the continuity hashing, remote read only needs a single RDMA read to directly fetch the home bucket and the neighbouring SBuckets, which contain all the positions of maintaining a key-value item, thus alleviating RDMA access amplification. Continuity hashing further leverages indicators that can be atomically modified to support log-free PM consistency for all the write operations. Evaluation results demonstrate that compared with state-of-the-art schemes, continuity hashing achieves high throughput (i.e., 1.45X -- 2.43X improvement), low latency (about 1.7X speedup) and the smallest number of PM writes with various workloads, while has acceptable load factors of about 70%.

Synchronous Mirroring (SM) is a standard approach to building highly-available and fault-tolerant enterprise storage systems. SM ensures strong data consistency by maintaining multiple exact data replicas and synchronously propagating every update to
all of them. Such strong consistency provides fault tolerance guarantees and a simple programming model coveted by enterprise system designers. For current storage devices, SM comes at modest performance overheads. This is because performing both local and remote updates simultaneously is only marginally slower than performing just local updates, due to the relatively slow performance of accesses to storage in todays systems. However, emerging persistent memory and ultra-low-latency network technologies necessitate a careful re-evaluation of the existing SM techniques, as these technologies present fundamentally different latency characteristics compared than their traditional counterparts. In addition to that, existing low-latency network technologies, such as Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), provide limited ordering guarantees and do not provide durability guarantees necessary for SM. To evaluate the performance implications of RDMA-based SM, we develop a rigorous testing framework that is based on emulated persistent memory. Our testing framework makes use of two different tools: (i) a configurable microbenchmark and (ii) a modified version of the WHISPER benchmark suite, which comprises a set of common cloud applications. Using this framework, we find that recently proposed RDMA primitives, such as remote commit, provide correctness guarantees, but do not take full advantage of the asynchronous nature of RDMA hardware. To this end, we propose new primitives enabling efficient and correct SM over RDMA, and use these primitives to develop two new techniques delivering high-performance SM of persistent memories.
Byte-addressable persistent memories (PM) has finally made their way into production. An important and pressing problem that follows is how to deploy them in existing datacenters. One viable approach is to attach PM as self-contained devices to the n
etwork as disaggregated persistent memory, or DPM. DPM requires no changes to existing servers in datacenters; without the need to include a processor, DPM devices are cheap to build; and by sharing DPM across compute servers, they offer great elasticity and efficient resource packing. This paper explores different ways to organize DPM and to build data stores with DPM. Specifically, we propose three architectures of DPM: 1) compute nodes directly access DPM (DPM-Direct); 2) compute nodes send requests to a coordinator server, which then accesses DPM to complete a request (DPM-Central); and 3) compute nodes directly access DPM for data operations and communicate with a global metadata server for the control plane (DPM-Sep). Based on these architectures, we built three atomic, crash-consistent data stores. We evaluated their performance, scalability, and CPU cost with micro-benchmarks and YCSB. Our evaluation results show that DPM-Direct has great small-size read but poor write performance; DPM-Central has the best write performance when the scale of the cluster is small but performs poorly when the scale increases; and DPM-Sep performs well overall.
We present RDMAbox, a set of low level RDMA optimizations that provide better performance than previous approaches. The optimizations are packaged in easy-to-use kernel and user space libraries for applications and systems in data center. We demonstr
ate the flexibility and effectiveness of RDMAbox by implementing a kernel remote paging system and a user space file system using RDMAbox. RDMAbox employs two optimization techniques. First, we suggest RDMA request merging and chaining to further reduce the total number of I/O operations to the RDMA NIC. The I/O merge queue at the same time functions as a traffic regulator to enforce admission control and avoid overloading the NIC. Second, we propose Adaptive Polling to achieve higher efficiency of polling Work Completion than existing busy polling while maintaining the low CPU overhead of event trigger. Our implementation of a remote paging system with RDMAbox outperforms existing representative solutions with up to 4? throughput improvement and up to 83% decrease in average tail latency in bigdata workloads, and up to 83% reduction in completion time in machine learning workloads. Our implementation of a user space file system based on RDMAbox achieves up to 5.9? higher throughput over existing representative solutions.
Blockchain technologies can enable secure computing environments among mistrusting parties. Permissioned blockchains are particularly enlightened by companies, enterprises, and government agencies due to their efficiency, customizability, and governa
nce-friendly features. Obviously, seamlessly fusing blockchain and cloud computing can significantly benefit permissioned blockchains; nevertheless, most blockchains implemented on clouds are originally designed for loosely-coupled networks where nodes communicate asynchronously, failing to take advantages of the closely-coupled nature of cloud servers. In this paper, we propose an innovative cloud-oriented blockchain -- CloudChain, which is a modularized three-layer system composed of the network layer, consensus layer, and blockchain layer. CloudChain is based on a shared-memory model where nodes communicate synchronously by direct memory accesses. We realize the shared-memory model with the Remote Direct Memory Access technology, based on which we propose a shared-memory consensus algorithm to ensure presistence and liveness, the two crucial blockchain security properties countering Byzantine nodes. We also implement a CloudChain prototype based on a RoCEv2-based testbed to experimentally validate our design, and the results verify the feasibility and efficiency of CloudChain.
The proliferation of fast, dense, byte-addressable nonvolatile memory suggests that data might be kept in pointer-rich in-memory format across program runs and even process and system crashes. For full generality, such data requires dynamic memory al
location, and while the allocator could in principle rolled into each data structure, it is desirable to make it a separate abstraction. Toward this end, we introduce recoverability, a correctness criterion for persistent allocators, together with a nonblocking allocator, Ralloc, that satisfies this criterion. Ralloc is based on the LRMalloc of Leite and Rocha, with three key innovations. First, we persist just enough information during normal operation to permit correct reconstruction of the heap after a full-system crash. Our reconstruction mechanism performs garbage collection (GC) to identify and remedy any failure-induced memory leaks. Second, we introduce the notion of filter functions, which identify the locations of pointers within persistent blocks to mitigate the limitations of conservative GC. Third, to allow persistent regions to be mapped at an arbitrary address, we employ position-independent (offset-based) pointers for both data and metadata. Experiments show Ralloc to be performance-competitive with both Makalu, the state-of-the-art lock-based persistent allocator, and such transient allocators as LRMalloc and JEMalloc. In particular, reliance on GC and offline metadata reconstruction allows Ralloc to pay almost nothing for persistence during normal operation.
