Trusted execution environments, and particularly the Software Guard eXtensions (SGX) included in recent Intel x86 processors, gained significant traction in recent years. A long track of research ...

Published in the Proceedings of the Third Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation, New Orleans, USA, February 1999. This research was supported in part by DARPA under contract ...

Recently, UNIX lost one of its most stalwart pioneers. In eulogizing him in a tweet, I claimed that Roger Faulkner was the "godfather of post-AT&T UNIX"—and I can't imagine that anyone who knew Roger ...

All major web browsers now support WebAssembly, a low-level bytecode intended to serve as a compilation target for code written in languages like C and C++. A key goal of WebAssembly is performance ...

Modern smartphone platforms implement permission-based models to protect access to sensitive data and system resources. However, apps can circumvent the permission model and gain access to protected ...

Password managers have the potential to help users more effectively manage their passwords and address many of the concerns surrounding password-based authentication. However, prior research has ...

An exciting insight of recent networking research has been that path-aware networking architectures are able to fundamentally solve many of the security issues of today’s Internet, while increasing ...

Who Is Answering My Queries: Understanding and Characterizing Interception of the DNS Resolution Path ...

Function as a Service (FaaS) has been gaining popularity as a way to deploy computations to serverless backends in the cloud. This paradigm shifts the complexity of allocating and provisioning ...

Data center clusters that run DNN training jobs are inherently heterogeneous. They have GPUs and CPUs for computation and network bandwidth for distributed training. However, existing distributed DNN ...

Deep neural networks are growing large for stronger model ability, consuming enormous computation resources to train them. Sparsely activated models have been increasingly proposed and deployed to ...

We describe ExCamera, a system that can edit, transform, and encode a video, including 4K and VR material, with low latency. The system makes two major contributions. First, we designed a framework to ...
