Sosp'19 Solar Daytime 0

I attended SOSP this week. SOSP is the premier conference on systems where 500+ researchers follow 30+ newspaper presentations inward a single-track trial over 3 days. SOSP is held every ii years --on strange years, alternating amongst OSDI which is held on the fifty-fifty years.

This was my 3rd SOSP. I had been to SOSP 2009 at Big Sky Montana in addition to SOSP 2013 at Nemacolin Pennsylvania. It is e'er a care for to attend SOSP. I acquire to larn novel ideas in addition to run across amongst interesting people. SOSP never fails to print me amongst the character of papers in addition to presentations. I attended almost all of the sessions on Mon in addition to Tuesday in addition to took a lot of notes. I volition hold upwards releasing these notes over the adjacent 4-5 posts equally I uncovering simply about complimentary fourth dimension to edit in addition to postal service them. You tin reckon the entire plan here in addition to download the papers freely equally opened upwards access.

Today, I volition simply speak near twenty-four lx minutes menstruation 0 in addition to the opening of twenty-four lx minutes menstruation 1.

Driving to SOSP

Abutalib, a finally yr PhD pupil at CMU, had offered to give me a ride to the conference. At Buffalo, I was on his drive to the conference from Pittsburgh, PA to Huntsville, Ontario, Canada. Talib in addition to his labmate/coauthor Michael came to alternative me upwards at 2pm on Sunday. We ate luncheon at my house, in addition to left at 3pm. We had 4 hours of driving from Buffalo to Huntsville.  We reached the Canadian edge inward 30 minutes, in that location were no lines, in addition to the edge cheque took less than a minute.

After the border, nosotros had 3.5 hours of driving left. Talib had a newspaper on the conference titled "File Systems Unfit equally Distributed Storage Backends: Lessons from 10 Years of Ceph Evolution". (Talib is on the academic chore marketplace this year, in addition to he is an first-class candidate for yous to hire.) I listened to Talib's presentation, in addition to thus Talib retired to travel to a greater extent than on his presentation. I in addition to thus moved to the forepart topographic point in addition to chatted amongst Michael for the residue of the drive. It was an interesting chat, in addition to nosotros didn't experience how the fourth dimension passed.

Michael is a 3rd yr PhD student. We talked near CMU PhD class requirements. CMU requires simply half dozen courses for PhD, equally they similar the students to focus to a greater extent than on query in addition to non acquire equally good distracted amongst many courses. On the other hand, CMU has a TAship requirement, which is non required inward other schools. Regardless of their funding for PhD, the PhD students are required to make a TAship for ii semesters. I mean value this is a skilful preparation for becoming faculty.

Michael had taken the distributed systems class, where they had an influential distributed systems newspaper to read every unmarried day. He had also taken an advanced cloud computing class which covered topics similar MapReduce, Spark, Yarn, etc. The class was co-taught past times 3 instructors, who alternated roofing sure enough topics. The class topographic point a big emphasis on "cost", equally that is an essential element of the cloud computing model. The students were given express cloud credits in addition to had to consummate the 3 class projects inside this budget. After all, an engineer is 1 who tin make for a dollar what whatsoever fool tin make for two.

We talked near the big information processing ecosystem. Spark seems to hold upwards unrivaled for big information processing. But in that location is even thus a gap inward distributed machine learning. Tensorflow is non tardily to role for distributed machine learning, in addition to Pytorch may hold upwards grabbing a skilful soil there. Michael's PhD query volition focus on using efficient compression algorithms for machine learning in addition to DNNs, in addition to briefly chatted near grade off those topics.

We talked a lot near blockchains in addition to their value proposition. I mean value I yakked a lot near Ben-Or, Texel, in addition to decentralized consensus inward blockchains.  We talked near TLA+, in addition to its value proposition.

Day 0 evening

We were at the DeerHurst resort, Huntsville Ontario, past times 7:30pm. The SOSP registration desk was even thus open, thus nosotros picked our SOSP badges, in addition to walked to the hotel reception to cheque in. While checking in, I ran into Robbert Van Rennesse, in addition to nosotros talked near his grade off Texel consensus for a while.

After I got to my room in addition to drib my bags, I went downwards to the antechamber because in that location were many SOSP attendees chatting there. It seemed similar nosotros had the entire hotel to ourselves, in addition to 500+ geeks would hold upwards the primary trial for the coming 3 days.

I saw Marcos in addition to Indranil whom I know before, thus I joined inward their conversation. Mahesh from Facebook was also there. So I had already found  distributed systems folks inward the conference. We chatted for to a greater extent than than 30 minutes, standing inward the lobby. We talked near Paxos variants. Both Marcos in addition to Mahesh are working amongst a production group, thus nosotros talked near how swell engineers enrich projects. We talked near California ability outages. We talked near how difficult it is to acquire a newspaper accepted at SOSP, in addition to how difficult it is to have in addition to procedure negative reviews, peculiarly bad in addition to unfair ones. We talked near the necessitate for a dedicated distributed *systems* conference.

Day 1 SOSP opening

After breakfast, SOSP'19 kicked off at 8:45am amongst a brusk address from the full general chairs, Tim Brecht (University of Waterloo) in addition to Carey Williamson (University of Calgary). Then PC Chairs Remzi H. Arpaci-Dusseau (University of Wisconsin) in addition to Yuanyuan Zhou (University of California San Diego) took the phase for brief remarks, thanks, in addition to acknowledgment.

SOSP’19 received a full of 276 newspaper submissions, reviewed past times the plan commission (PC) of 55 reviewers. All papers received 3 reviews inward the get-go round. Based on get-go circular reviews, 154 papers were selected to expire along to the 2nd round, in addition to each in addition to thus received additional reviews. In full to a greater extent than than 1200 reviews, totaling over 1 1 one one thousand thousand words of feedback. Ultimately the conference accepted papers 38 papers, bringing the credence charge per unit of measurement to 13%. The best newspaper awards for the conference were awarded to

This yr SOSP organized for the get-go fourth dimension artifact evaluation led past times Profs. Baris Kasikci in addition to Vijay Chidambaram, in addition to organized past times Supreeth Shastri. 23 of the 38 papers were submitted for artifact evaluation. 22 of these earned at to the lowest degree 1 page, eleven papers earned all badges, in addition to 12 papers had all their results reproduced.

This yr in that location was also a student mentorship program organized past times Natacha Crooks in addition to Malte Schwarzkopf. The plan matched PhD students to postdoctoral query associates or faculty members in addition to researchers inward their query expanse of involvement for coming together at the conference. Of class most PhD students already acquire mentorship from their advisors, but this plan was valuable to demo how the community is a welcoming 1 to the students.
