Shengyao Luo joins CASP Systems with Summer’22 UROP award
Shengyao (Jax) Luo is joining the CASP Systems lab this summer, after being awarded a UROP grant. Jax's project, "Monitoring and improving energy consumption in stream data processing", aims to curate and publish a unique data set of fine-grained time-series energy and performance data for streaming workloads.
Paper accepted at EuroSys’22
Our paper "A New Benchmark Harness for Systematic and Robust Evaluation of Streaming State Stores" has been accepted for presentation at the EuroSys'22 conference.
CASP receives three Research Incubation Awards from the Red Hat Collaboratory
Our research lab has received three Research Incubation Awards from the BU Red Hat Collaboratory: 1. Towards high performance and energy efficiency in open-source stream processing (PIs: Vasiliki Kalavri, Jonathan Appavoo) 2. Serverless Streaming Graph Analytics (PI: Vasiliki Kalavri) 3.

Showan’s work was accepted for presentation at the EuroSys Doctoral Workshop (EuroDW 2021)
Showan's submission "Toward Workload-Aware State Management in Streaming Systems" was accepted for presentation at the 15th EuroSys Doctoral Workshop (EuroDW 2021). Here's the abstract: Modern streaming systems rely on persistent KV stores to perform stateful processing on data streams. Although the choice of the state store is crucial for the system’s performance, More
