Cloud computing environments are paving new ways to provide
infrastructure for enterprise environments and datacenters.
Modern multi-core computing platforms together with high
performance networking technologies (InfiniBand and 10/40GigE
iWARP with RDMA and atomic operations) and storage technologies
(SSDs) are providing new opportunities to design these environments
with performance and scalability. Past research along this direction
has focused on designing different RDMA-aware middleware components
(such as active caching, distributed shared substrate,
load-balancing, reconfiguration and admission control).
Current research directions focus on scalable
and high-performance designs for Memacached, HBase, HDFS and
MapReduce under the Hadoop infrastructure.
