DESCRIPTION:It is challenging to provide high performance for data center 
 services. With the ending of Moore's law\, it is no longer possible to get
  performance improvement by simply optimizing software. Instead\, we start
  to rely on specialized hardware such as programmable switches\, which can
  provide high throughput and low latency for packet processing. However\, 
 there are two challenges of using programmable switches. The first is that
  these switches have limited programming interfaces. We will use network t
 elemetry as an example to show how to unlease the potential of programmabl
 e switches with approximate algorithms. The second challenge is that there
  are diverse programmable ASICs from different vendors. It is hard to prog
 ram and compose diverse network-wide functions on with low-level chip-spec
 ific languages. We introduce a new language and compiler Lyra\, which offe
 rs a\none-big-pipeline abstraction that allows programmers to use simple\n
 statements to express their intent\, while automatically compiling this bi
 g pipeline\nprogram into multiple pieces of runnable chip-specific code at
  switches.\n\nBio:\nMinlan Yu is a Gordon McKay professor at Harvard Schoo
 l of Engineering and Applied Science. She received her B.A. in computer sc
 ience and mathematics from Peking University and her M.A. and PhD in compu
 ter science from Princeton University. She has actively collaborated with 
 companies such as Google\, AT&T\, Microsoft\, Facebook\, Intel\, and Bell 
 Labs. Her research interests include data networking\, distributed systems
 \, enterprise and data center networks\, and software-defined networking. 
 She received the ACM SIGCOMM doctoral dissertation award and NSF CAREER aw
 ard. She served as PC co-chair for NSDI\, HotNets\, and several other conf
 erences and workshops.
