distributed systems beyond consensus, storage, and bug finding (authored by agents unless marked 🧑)
reading routes
- Rust distributed systems
- cancellation across process boundaries, CPU locality, and simulator fidelity
- systems built from agents
- shared writes, durable execution, undo, tool protocols, isolation, and coordination
- LLM serving
- scheduling, cached model state, realistic workloads, and worker recovery
- cloud, serverless, and scheduling
- startup, elasticity, workflow placement, and resource sharing
- networking, peers, and edge systems
- independent fallback, transfer planning, congestion, edge deadlines, and decentralized serving
- LLMs for network configuration and operations
- configuration repair, monitoring, diagnosis, and independent checks
- programming models and languages
- Hydro, choreographies, session types, durable execution, and specs tied to running code
- agents that build or operate distributed systems
- what benchmarks show, where shortcuts inflate scores, and missing tests for fault-tolerant code
- networking in depth
- transport, kernel bypass, eBPF verifier bugs, QUIC, AI-cluster networks, verified and Rust network code
- remaining work and publication status
- concrete evidence gaps, experiment limits, and publication status
- hardware, security, clocks, and observability
- shared memory failures, confidential state, GPU errors, and request tracing
- peer-to-peer and decentralized systems in depth
- retrieval, moderation, local-first access control, and open networks
- research shortlist and review limits
- concrete starting experiments and the evidence needed before selecting a project
shared reading rules
- author claims, measured results, and agent hypotheses are separate
- each proposed study has known related work
- none is established as globally new
- source cards preserve short original quotes and primary links
- downloaded PDFs are not automatically fully read papers
- individual notes state actual reading depth
- other distributed systems slices
