Research Interests
I do data-intensive systems research. My research focuses on building efficient state-management support for cloud applications. I have designed and built systems that cater to different kinds of state management needs.- Rille is a scalable deterministic and ordered stream processing engine built for multicores.
- Faster is a concurrent key-value store that supports larger-than-memory data while efficiently caching hot set in memory.
- Strife is a novel transaction processing system that is designed to mostly avoid expensive concurrency control by scheduling transactions intelligently.
