Making Cloud Systems Reliable and Dependable: Challenges and Opportunities
Lidong Zhou- MSRA
Background
system reliability:
- Fault Tolerance
- Redundancies
- State Machine Replication
- Paxos
- Erasure Coding
Real-World Gray Failures in Cloud
- redundancies in data center networking
- active device and link failure localization in data center
- NetBouncer: large-Scale path probing and diagnosis
- NetBouncer: leverage the power of scale
- root cause of the gray failure - stuck due to network issue - heart beat still normal (request stuck)
- Insight: should detect what the requesters errors
- critical gray failure are ovserviable
- from error handling to error reporting
Solution - Panorama
- Analysis - automatically covert a software component into an in-situ observer
- Runtime - observer send to local observation store(LOS)
- locate ob-boundary
- observations not always direct
- observations split to ob-origin & ob-sink
- match ob-origin & ob-sink
- Detect what "requesters" see
- failure that matter are observable to requesters
- turn error handlers into error reporters
- enables construction of in-situ observers

Reliability of Large-Scale Distributed Systems
- foundation reliability
- rethink cloud reliability: new theory & new method
- understand gray failure
- systematic and comprehensive observations

Deconstructing RDMA-enabled Distributed Transactions: Hybrid is Better!
Haibo Chen - SJTU
Background
- (Distributed) Transactions were slow
- High cost for distributed TX - Usually 10s~100s of thousands of TPS - (SIGMOD‘12)
- only 4% of wall-clock time spent in useful data processing
new features:
- RDMA: remote direct memory access
- ultra low latency(5us)
- ultra high throughput
- NVM: Non-volatile memory
An Active Line of Research of RDMA-enabled TX
- DrTM - DrTM(SOSP 2015) DrTM-R(EuroSys 2016) DrTM-B(USENIX ATC 2017)
- FaRM - FaRM-KV(NSDI 2014) FaRM-TX(SOSP 2015)
- FaSST(OSDI 2016)
- LITE(SOSP 2017)
Transaction(TX)s
- protocols - OCC,2PL,SI...
- impl on hardware devices - CX3,CX4,CX5,ROCE, one-side, two-side....
- OLTP workloads - TPC-C, TPC-E, TATP, Smallbank
Main: Use RDMA in TXs
outlet:
- RDMA primitive-level analysis
- Phase-by-phase analysis for TX
- DrTM+H: Putting it all together
content:
- phase: Exe/Val/Log/Commit
- offloading with one-side improves the performance
- one-sided primitive has good scalability on modern RNIC
- Execution framework & DrTM+H:https://github/com/SJTU-IPADS/drtmh
RDMA in Data Centers: from Cloud Computing to Machine Learning
Chuanxiong Guo - ByteDance
Background
- Data Center Network (DCN) offer lot services
- single ownership
- large scale
- bisection bandwidth
- TCP/IP not working well
- latency
- bandwidth
- processing overhead(40G) - 12% CPU at receiver & 6% CPU at sender
RDMA over Commodity Ethernet (RoCEv2)
- no CPU overhead
- single QP, 88Gb/s 1.7% CPU usage (TCP 8 connection 30-50Gb/s, client 2.6% & server 4.3% CPU)
- RoCEv2 needs a lossless ethernet network
- PFC(priority-based flow control) hop-by-hop flow control
- DCQCN - sender-switch-receiver (RP-CP-NP)
- the slow-receiver symptom - ToR tot NIC is 40Gb/s & NIC to server is 64Gb/s. NIC may generate large number of PFC pause frames
RDMA for DNN Training Acceleration
- understanding using DNN
- DNN Training: BP
- Distributed ML training, GPUs, with mini-batch
- RDMA acceleration : ResNet \ RNNs \ DNN (rdma performance better than tcp)

Congestion Control Mechanisms in Data Center Networks
Wei Bai - MSRA
DCN中实现低时延
- 排队时延 -PIAS(NSDI 2015)
- 丢包重发时延 - TLT
PIAS
- Flow completion Time (FCT)是关键问题
- 流信息不能假设为已知、可以在现有设备上快速部署
- PIAS performs Multi-level feedback queue (MLFQ) to emulate shortest job first (SJF)
- three function in pias:
- package tagging
- switch
- rate control
TLT
- 同时达到Lossy & Loss-Less两种网络的好处
- using PFC to eliminate congestion packet losses
- packet loss :
- middle - fast retransmissions
- tail - Timeout retransmissions
- 识别重要包, 当交换机队列超过阈值时丢掉非重要包
