Systems Design and Implementation Seminar September 7, 2023 12:00pm — 1:00pm Location: In Person - Panther Hollow Conference Room, Mehrabian Collaborative Innovation Center 4105 Speaker: VINCENT LIU, Assistant Professor, Department of Computer and Information Science, University of Pennsylvania https://vincen.tl/ Networked Systems in the Age of Really Fast Networks Computer networks have come a long way, from the 10 Mbps Ethernet standard of the 1980s to the 100s of Gbps (and soon to be Tbps) of today’s networks. For application developers, the benefits of growth are clear: higher bandwidth leads to faster network transfers and, thus, to better application performance. For network architects and operators, however, higher bandwidth is a double-edged sword and can lead to both additional challenges and additional opportunities. In this talk, I will discuss a few of the ways in which my lab and I have been exploring these issues with a focus on our efforts to characterize the challenges of measuring modern networks and techniques to overcome those challenges. — Vincent Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania, where he leads the PennNetworks group and is a member of the Distributed Systems Lab (DSL).
