Congrats on Ragini’s master degree

Ragini Sharma successfully defended her master thesis on “A Study on Knowledge Transfer Techniques to Support Deep Learning on Edge Devices”. Her work studies the use of knowledge transfer techniques to support distributed deep learning that exploits the knowledge from deep networks trained in the cloud to improve the accuracy and speed of small networks[…]

RTVirt published on EuroSys

RTVirt is a new solution for enabling time-sensitive applications (such as emergency planning and management applications) on virtualized systems (such as public and private cloud systems) through cross-layer scheduling. It allows the two levels of schedulers on a virtualized system to communicate key scheduling information and coordinate on the scheduling decisions. It enables optimal multiprocessor[…]

New NSF-sponsored project on NVM caching

VISA Lab has received a new NSF award to start a three-year project on Non-volatile memory (NVM) enabled host-side caches. NVM is a transformative technology that is dramatically changing how data storage systems of the future are built. This technology allows an unprecedented combination of performance and persistence into a single device. This project will develop[…]
