Title: Networked Systems in the Era of Programmable Dataplanes

Abstract: Emerging networking architectures are allowing for flexible and reconfigurable packet processing at line rate both on the switch and the NIC. Despite their promising new functionality, programmable switches and NICs are not all-powerful; they have limited state, support limited types of operations, and limit per-packet computation to operate at line rate. In this talk, I will describe recent advances that mask resource limitations using approximation techniques and allow for the implementation of powerful scheduling algorithms. I will also describe the need for a general framework to expose in-network computing capability to distributed applications.
