Caching to Improve Latency and Efficiency at Scale w/ CacheLib

CORGi is part of the Parallel Data Lab’s ongoing collaboration with Facebook’s CacheLib team on improving the latency, efficiency, and cost of cache at datacenter-scale. Our OSDI’20 paper introduced and characterized the CacheLib system, which was developed and widely deployed at Facebook to aggregate caching optimizations in a single system. We are now actively working with other PDLers and Facebook on caching systems that improve cache latency, efficiency, and cost even further. These projects are being prototyped and tested within CacheLib. More information can be found on the PDL caching page.
