Improving Nonpreemptive Multiserver Job Scheduling with Quickswap
Modern data center workloads are composed of multiserver jobs, computational jobs that require multiple CPU cores in order to run. A data center server can run many multiserver jobs in parallel, as long as it has sufficient resources to meet their demands. However, multiserver jobs are generally stateful, meaning that job preemptions incur significant overhead from saving and reloading the state associated with running jobs. Hence, most systems try to avoid these costly job preemptions altogeth…

Seeing Through the Fog: Empowering Mobile Devices to Expose and Mitigate RAN Buffer Effects on Delay-Sensitive Protocols
Delay-based protocols rely on end-to-end delay measurements to detect network congestion. However, in cellular networks, Radio Access Network (RAN) buffers introduce significant delays unrelated to congestion, fundamentally challenging these protocols' assumptions. We identify two major types of RAN buffers - retransmission buffers and uplink scheduling buffers - that can introduce delays comparable to congestion-induced delays, severely degrading protocol performance. We present CellNinjia, a …

Unit Commitment with Cost-Oriented Temporal Resolution
Time-adaptive unit commitment (UC) has recently been investigated to reduce the scheduling costs by flexibly varying the temporal resolution, which is usually determined by clustering the net load patterns. However, there exists a misalignment between cost and net load patterns due to the discrete start-up costs and out-of-merit-order dispatch triggered by ramping and other constraints. The optimal time-adaptive resolution cannot be completely captured by clustering-based method. This paper pro…

Now that the first draft of my PyCon UK keynote is done and my nerves are settling down a bit, why don’t I check on the issues and PRs that accumulated on my FOSS projects…

Well back before the 2016 election I remember seeing a news video in which Trump said something about how, if he ran for the presidency, he could make money. That video seems to have vanished beyond our event horizon. It would be nice if someone could find and resurrect it.
Anyway, FFOTUS has made that video come true:

Trump Used Your Tax Dollars to Open His New Scottish Golf Course
Donald Trump inaugurated a new, private golf course in Scotland during an official state trip funded by taxpayers.
