some papers caught my eye include:
\nSTRADS: A Distributed Framework for Scheduled Model Parallel Machine Learning.
\nlooks quite clever - not sure how it would work for a bayesian inferencer, but made me think<\/p>\n

Increasing Large-Scale Data Center Capacity by Statistical Power
\nuses MORE servers to reduce power - clever control theory approach - Baidu traces to eval is real, large system<\/p>\n

A High Performance File System for Non-Volatile Main Memory.
\nseems solid<\/p>\n

Crayon: Saving Power through Shape and Color Approximation on Next-Generation Displays.
\nneat, but niche - OLED laptop displays consume less power if you render stuff cleverly - nice bit of human factors driven algorithm design to minimise impact on perceived image quality - gets 56% power saving on tablet with little subjective impact <\/p>\n

A Study of Modern Linux API Usage and Compatibility: What to Support When You're Supporting.
\nBest paper award - nice talk - fun....<\/p>\n

BB: Booting Booster for Consumer Electronics with Modern OS.
\nbasically, Samsuung's smart TV boots a lot faster coz they hacked it a lot. (I have one, and replaced an LG with it, and its true:)<\/p>\n

TFC: Token Flow Control in Data Center Networks.
\nis basically isarhythmic flow control (an idea from donald davies 1960s packet switched networking) done right:)<\/p>\n

JUGGLER: A Practical Reordering Resilient Network Stack for Datacenters.
\nuses offload engine and other stuff to do a very solid job of dealing with putting packets in right order for TCP (where out-of-order delivery was caused by load balancers)<\/p>\n

Flash Storage Disaggregation.
\nwhat it says on the tin<\/p>\n

Shared Address Translation Revisited. evil question about reverse page->structure mapping in linux - how to figure out which process to go to with shared stuff...<\/p>\n

POSIX Abstractions in Modern Operating Systems: The Old, the New, and the Missing. - hopelessly optimistic but engaging speaker:)<\/p>\n
