Traveling to #NSDI24 . See you at Santa Clara!

It is a huge shock to lose such an amazing colleague and mentor. We are still trying to absorb this news. Rest in peace, Rance.

The UMD security group is hiring a postdoc. Want to work in applied cryptography and zk proofs with me or Gabe Kaptchuk? Or usable security, ai security, network security, pq crypto, or programing languages + security. Come to UMD and live in Washington, DC. obj.umiacs.umd.edu/cybersecurity/…

Our new work (arxiv.org/abs/2403.05527) – GEAR: an efficient KV-cache compression framework for near-lossless generative inference of LLMs – overcomes limitations of token-dropping methods, which struggle for language generation tasks. (1/2)

Experiments demonstrate GEAR achieves near-lossless 4-bit KV cache compression with up to 2.38x throughput improvement and reduces peak-memory size by up to 2.29x. Joint work with Hao Kang, Qingru Zhang SOUVIK KUNDU Geonhwa Jeong, Alan Liu 🏍️ Tushar Krishna

Many congratulations to Kevin Bock from UMD Department of Computer Science won ACM SIGCOMM Doctoral Dissertation Award, with his work on “Automating the Discovery of Censorship Evasion Strategies'! @ the proud advisor Dave Levin!!

At n2women workshop today co-located with ACM SIGCOMM, two members of FROOT lab at UMD Department of Computer Science presented their ongoing work: Lesley Chou and Zeying Zhu! Nice presentations and posters!! Go talk to them :)

Heading to ACM SIGCOMM 2023 in NYC, via 🚉🚄! My first in-person sigcomm after many years! If you are around and seeing a person always with a large black backpack, come and say hi 👋 :)
