5 Questions
What is Arachne?
Arachne is a new user-level implementation of threads that provides low latency and high throughput for applications with extremely short-lived threads.
What are the key features of Arachne?
Arachne is core-aware, allowing each application to determine how many cores it needs based on its load, and it always knows the exact number of cores it has.
Who are the authors of the paper?
The authors of the paper are Henry Qin, Qian Li, Jacqueline Speiser, Peter Kraft, and John Ousterhout from Stanford University.
Which conference did the paper belong to?
The paper is included in the Proceedings of the 13th USENIX Symposium on Operating Systems Design and Implementation (OSDI ’18).
What is the focus of Arachne?
Arachne focuses on providing both low latency and high throughput for applications with extremely short-lived threads, typically only a few microseconds.
