Cilium - Container Networking with BPF & XDPThomas Graf
This talk demonstrates that programmability and performance does not require user space networking, it can be achieved in the kernel by generating BPF programs and leveraging the existing kernel subsystems. We will demo an early prototype which provides fast IPv6 & IPv4 connectivity to containers, container labels based security policy with avg cost O(1), and debugging and monitoring based on the per-cpu perf ring buffer. We encourage a lively discussion on the approach taken and next steps.

A Memory Centric Fabric for a Data Centric World.
This presentation discusses OpenCAPI Interconnect Fabric and OMI Near Memory Bus Standards and why these are increasingly relevant in a Data Centric Computing World.
Massively Parallel RISC-V Processing with Transactional MemoryNetronome
In this talk, we discuss some of the background, and describe the example of a thousand RISC-V harts performing the processing required in a SmartNIC. We show how a RISC-V solution can be tailored with a suitable choice of instruction set features, privilege modes and debug methodology.

44CON 2014 - Stupid PCIe Tricks, Joe Fitzpatrick.
Hardware hacks tend to focus on low-speed (jtag, uart) and external (network, usb) interfaces, and PCI Express is typically neither. After a crash course in PCIe Architecture, we’ll demonstrate a handful of hacks showing how pull PCIe outside of your system case and add PCIe slots to systems without them, including embedded platforms. We’ll top it off with a demonstration of SLOTSCREAMER, an inexpensive device that’s part of the NSA Playset which we’ve configured to access memory and IO, cross-platform and transparent to the OS - all by design with no 0-day needed. The open hardware and software framework that we will release will expand your Playset with the ability to tinker with DMA attacks to read memory, bypass software and hardware security measures, and directly attack other hardware devices in the system.
In this talk, we outline a kernel and upstream centric approach to data plane acceleration using an upstream SmartNIC BPF JIT. This allows extended Berkeley Packet Filter (eBPF) bytecode to be transparently offloaded to the SmartNIC from either the Traffic Control (TC) or Express Data Path (XDP) hooks in the kernel and could be used for applications such as DoS protection, load balancing and software switching e.g., Open vSwitch (OVS). We then follow this by outlining the proposed ICONICS OCP contribution related to an open approach for reconfiguration using directly compiled SmartNIC programs in situations where BPF bytecode alone is not sufficient to accommodate changing semantics in the network.
Cisco usNIC: how it works, how it is used in Open MPIJeff Squyres
In this talk, I expand on the slides I presented at the Madrid, Spain EuroMPI conference in September 2013 (I re-used some of the slides from that Madrid presentation, but there's a bunch of new content in the latter half of the slide deck).
This talk is a technical deep dive into how Cisco's usNIC technology works, and how we use that technology in the BTL plugin that we wrote for Open MPI.
I originally gave this talk at Lawrence Berkeley Labs on Thursday, November 7, 2013.
The OpenCSD library for decoding CoreSight traces has reached the point where it is ready to be integrated into applications. This session will present an overview of the state of the library, its interfaces and explore and demonstrate a sample integration with perf.

A presentation about UCS and usNIC to the Math & Computer Science and Leadership Computing Facility divisions at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). Presented to ANL by Dave Goodell (Cisco) on 2014-09-02.
Haodong Tang from Intel gave this talk at the 2018 Open Fabrics Workshop.
"Efficient network messenger is critical for today’s scale-out storage systems. Ceph is one of the most popular distributed storage system providing a scalable and reliable object, block and file storage services. As the explosive growth of Big Data continues, there're strong demands leveraging Ceph build high performance & ultra-low latency storage solution in the cloud and bigdata environment. The traditional TCP/IP cannot satisfy this requirement, but Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) can.
"In this session, we'll present the challenges in today's distributed storage system posed by network messenger with the profiling results of Ceph All Flash Array system showing the networking already become the bottleneck and introduce how we achieved 8% performance benefit with Ethernet RDMA protocol iWARP. We'll first present the design of integrating iWARP to Ceph networking module together with performance characterization results with iWARP enabled IO intensive workload. The send part, we will explore the proof-of-concept solution of Ceph on NVMe over iWARP to build high-performance and high-density storage solution. Finally, we will showcase how these solutions can improve OSD scalability, and what’s the next optimization opportunities based on current analysis."

If AMD Adopted OMI in their EPYC ArchitectureAllan Cantle
AMD's EPYC Architecture has paved the way forward towards Heterogeneous Data Centric Computing, but it is still limited by it's parallel DDR interfaces. This presentation shows the potential for the EPYC architecture if it adopted the Open Memory Interface, OMI, for it's Near Memory interface.
Today Fujitsu published specifications for the A64FX CPU to be featured in the post-K computer, a future machine designed to be 100 times faster than the legendary K computer that dominated the TOP500 for years.
A64FX is the world's first CPU to adopt the Scalable Vector Extension (SVE), an extension of Armv8-A instruction set architecture for supercomputers. Building on over 60 years' worth of Fujitsu-developed microarchitecture, this chip offers peak performance of over 2.7 TFLOPS, demonstrating superior HPC and AI performance. A64FX offers a number of features, including broad utility supporting a wide range of applications, massive parallelization through the Tofu interconnect, low power consumption, and mainframe-class reliability.
A64FX is the world's first CPU to adopt the SVE of Arm Limited's Armv8-A instruction set architecture, extended for supercomputers. Fujitsu collaborated with Arm, contributing to the development of the SVE as a lead partner, and adopted the results in the A64FX.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
