DDoS Attacks on Cloud Auto-scaling Mechanisms

Auto-scaling mechanisms are an important line of defense against distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks in the cloud. Using auto-scaling, machines can be added and removed in an online manner to respond to fluctuating load. It is commonly believed that the...

Relational Memory Controller

Note: See the Near-Data Data Transformation project page for information about the work that led to this project. Abstract: Data movement through the memory hierarchy is a fundamental bottleneck for computing systems. A key reason is that data access patterns do not...

Learned Cost-Models for Robust Tuning

Note: Please see the Robust Data Systems Tuning project page for earlier results associated with this research. Abstract: Data systems’ performance is tuned via analytical cost models that take into account all tuning knobs and predict performance....
