Congratulations @WangChangjie13 on receiving the 2025 Applied Networking research prize for our NetConfEval work! 🏆
Now, let’s work on making LLMs also reliable and sustainable for code generation! 🚀

At CoNEXT ’24, @Skazza_94 presented our FAJITA paper for running stateful network functions at very high rates (~1.4 Tbps). PDF + video are at the @ERC_Research CoG ULTRA blog post below. Click below to see something perhaps unexpected in this work.

I am continuing to look for two more PhD students who wish to work with us on creating a dramatically more energy efficient and cheaper platform for AI inferencing (deadline Jan 17, 2025):

At OvSCon'24, we will be presenting Emil Ståhl's master thesis work together with Red Hat on the potential of branch prediction to reduce cache misses in OVS.

We discovered that:
- Chasing a single pointer on a CPU may cost you 10 Mpps
- Many NF chains retrieve flow states based on different packet header fields, breaking the "exclusive memory access" guarantees of high-speed multi-core CPUs
In our CoNEXT'24 paper... (see comments)
We show that FAJITA can process up to 170Mpps with an NF consisting of a flow counter +a rate limiter and a load balancer. We then show how to improve by 50% the throughput of NF chains that match on different fields of the header, processing up to 90Mpps.
As usual, all code is available online!
This is joint work with @ghasemirahni

After all these OpenAI and Google announcements is there anything left for us academics to work on? Definitely! Three PhD student openings for working on a dramatically more energy efficient platform for AI inferencing: kth.se/lediga-jobb/720350?l=…
Do large language models facilitate network configuration? We investigate opportunities and challenges in operating network systems using LLMs in our accepted ACM CoNEXT'24 paper. Thanks, @WangChangjie13 @Skazza_94 @alirezafarshin @si_ferlin @dmkostic. More info in the comments.

I am looking for postdocs who want to work with us on fundamentally pushing the boundary of scientific knowledge when it comes to building Networked Systems for Machine Learning. #recruiting #ercfunded #postdoc #postdocposition #postdocjobs @ERC_Research

Congrats to Mariano Scazzariello@Skazza_94 and Tommaso Caiazzi on their best paper award at Conext! The paper presentation is tomorrow (Wed) at 11:00

We are looking for multiple postdocs who want to work with us on pushing the boundary of knowledge when it comes to building Networked Systems for Machine Learning. We offer a large degree of academic freedom and top experimental research infrastructure.
