Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity serverAntonios Katsarakis
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

2. Agenda
What is Unified Communications (UC)?
Why UC?
UC Challenges
UC Best Practices
2
3. What is Unified Communications?
• “Communications integrated to optimize business
processes” (UCStrategies.com)
• “Cisco Unified Communications combine all forms
of business communications into a single, unified
solution that enables your organization to move
with greater speed and agility”. (Cisco)
• “… a ‘SIP-based’ architecture that automates and
unifies all forms of human and device
communications including voice, video, instant
messaging, conferencing, presence, and
voicemail, in context and with a common
experience.” (Aspect)
3
4. Why Unified Communications?
• Optimize and improve business practices and processes
• Increase employee‟s productivity, access to information
and ability to communicate
– e.g. email, shared workspaces, group calendars, web
conferencing, IM and social SW
• Better communications (and extend enterprise
communications) for distributed sites and remote or mobile
workers
• Improved customer service: „Follow the sun‟ –
global/virtualized contact centers
• Reduce costs
– Ownership costs associated with communications equipment
– Travel costs
4
– Outsourcing costs for conferencing services
5. Three Approaches for Enterprises
Migrating to UC
• Network Centric
– Existing network vendor extends its portfolio to new
communication areas and new SW into your HW (Cisco
approach)
• Telephony and Voice Centric
– Voice communication vendors manage all IP
communications from one application (Avaya approach)
• Desktop Centric
– Software vendors supplying apps like email and IM,
extend into all communications across your network
(Microsoft approach)
5
6. UC – Technology Elements
• SIP based
• Best of breed approach (Not single vendor)
– Complex architecture, it will be a migration
• Designed to be layered on top of existing voice and data networks
• Integration and interoperability of existing infrastructure with new components
is critical
• Integrates multiple silo‟d communication channels
– Don‟t want to swap out solid existing solutions for certain
communication channels that work well today (e.g. email)
• UCC – UC with collaboration
• UCaaS – Pay-as-you-go model for UC
– Cost effective for SMBs
– Will alleviate configuring HW infrastructure

9. Interoperability – A Major Hurdle for UC
Sept 11, 2009
Gartner calls for greater UC interoperability
Interoperability is the magic word for vendors in Gartner's
unified communications (UC) Magic Quadrant this year,
as market giants accept they have to let third-party developers play in their
sandboxes.
"The vendors would like to broaden the footprint they have within their existing customers and
expand into new
markets, whereas users, in many cases, would like to have the vendors interoperate effectively
so they can get a high degree of functionality, and preserve and migrate their existing
investments," said quadrant co-author Bern Elliot, a vice president and senior analyst at Gartner.
Unified communications vendors may push to be a one-stop UC shop -- trying to merge
telephony, email, instant messaging (IM), conferencing and presence in a single platform -- but
Gartner is advising enterprises to shop around for interoperable communications products across
the market.

10. Obstacles and Challenges in Deploying
and Maintaining UC Environments
• SIP maturity
Establishing – RFC openness
Flawless – Vendor specific implementations
Interoperability • Interoperability with existing voice systems
