The network fabric as a storage orchestrator: a switch-centric architecture

Sep 2026 · Journal of Supercomputing · Vol 82 · 0 citations · 43 references

TL;DR

A new class of highly scalable, effective, and resilient network-native services is made possible by Synapse, which removes the main storage bottleneck in contemporary data centers by offloading the entire telemetry capture process to the network fabric.

PCM: Programmable Congestion Management for Terabit RDMA NICs

Datacenter congestion control (CC) and load balancing (LB) evolve rapidly as workload demands change, but deployment depends on RDMA hardware and transport interfaces. Emerging programmable RDMA engines tie policy code to vendor APIs. Operators must therefore port each policy for every platform they deploy. We address...

Programmable Scale-Up Switches for Software-Defined GPU Fabrics

It is argued that scale-up fabrics should become software-defined, as programmable switches did for Ethernet over the past decade, and that the switch is the natural place to begin.

M-CSN: Joint Architecture and Flow Scheduling for Metro-Scale AI Fabric Based on Supernodes

Deploying trillion-parameter large language models across metropolitan environments is required to sustain real-time inference. Urban power constraints, however, prohibit monolithic GPU clusters, forcing the integration of distributed supernodes into a citywide compute fabric. Over 100-km distances, optical propagation...

Netkit: Specializing Linux Packet Delivery for Container Networks

Cloud-native microservices architectures rely on network namespaces for isolation, with the overhead of container communications remaining a critical performance bottleneck. While colocating containers on the same host mitigates some of this overhead, it cannot match the performance of communication within a single net...

RSC: Enabling High-Performance RDMA for Serverless Services with Adaptive Network Multiplexing

Results demonstrate that RSC can make RDMA economically viable for serverless services, and workflow, request‑mix, resource, noisy‑neighbor, endpoint‑scale, and QP‑density diagnostics confirm that connection reuse removes millisecond‑scale RC setup from warm service invocation paths.
