About Me
I am a post-doc and build distributed memory/storage systems with fast and smart hardware.
Education
Ph.D.
in Department of Computer Science, Tsinghua University
2018 - 2023
B.S.
in Department of Software Engineering, Huazhong University of Science and Technology
2014 - 2018
Research
I build distributed memory/storage systems for modern datacenters, which is motivated by some hardware trends:
- New network: RDMA and CXL, extending memory semantic to remote servers or IO devices
- New memory: persistent memory (PM), providing memory-level storage
- New compute: RMT switch ASIC and SmartNICs, offering computing power on the path of memory accesses
- New architecture: hardware memory disaggregation, enabling independent scaling of memory and compute
Here are some related projects:
- Lifting network-level knowledge to storage software
- Leveraging NIC hardware ACKs for fast commit (NSDI’25)
- Distributed protocols with network supports
- Indexes for different network links
- NUMA-aware index (OSDI’21, TOS’22)
- RDMA-based index on disaggregated memory (SIGMOD’22, EuroSys’25)
- Memory management
- Memory compaction (USENIX ATC’22)
- Protective remote memory (FAST’23)
- SSD-extended remote memory (FAST’24)
- Concurrency
- One-sided locks (FAST’23, FAST’25)
- Request scheduling (USENIX ATC’22)
- Transactions (VLDB’22, DAC’20)
