Talk #1: Homa: A Fast Lane for Small Messages by John Ousterhout, Professor Emeritus of Computer Science at Stanford University

John willexplain how Homa can dramatically reduce small-message latency and explore its potential relevance to AI workloads. Drawing on his expertise in transport protocols, he’ll discuss what Homa could offer when small-message latency matters. Its importance for AI workloads remains an open, workload-dependent question.

Bio: John Ousterhout is a Professor Emeritus ofComputer Science at Stanford University, the creator of Tcl, and a systems researcher whose current work focuses on the Homa transport protocol.
