+  - title: "PMAlloc: A Holistic Approach to Improving Persistent Memory Allocation"
+    authors:
+    - Zheng Dang
+    - Shuibing He
+    - Xuechen Zhang
+    - Peiyi Hong
+    - Zhenxin Li
+    - Xinyu Chen
+    - Haozhe Song
+    - Xian-He Sun
+    - Gang Chen
+    tldr: "PMAlloc redesigns persistent memory allocation end-to-end, co-optimizing the allocator's data structures, concurrency, and crash consistency to dramatically reduce allocation overhead."
+    why_notable: "Persistent memory is still poorly understood at the allocator level; this paper offers a rare holistic treatment that will inform future PM software stacks."
+  - title: "Boki: Towards Data Consistency and Fault Tolerance with Shared Logs in Stateful Serverless Computing"
+    authors:
+    - Zhipeng Jia
+    - Emmett Witchel
+    tldr: "Boki introduces a shared-log abstraction for serverless functions that provides strong consistency and fault tolerance without requiring developers to manage state explicitly."
+    why_notable: "It reframes stateful serverless as a log-centric problem, offering a clean systems primitive that substantially simplifies correctness guarantees in function-as-a-service platforms."
+  - title: "Diciclo: Flexible User-level Services for Efficient Multitenant Isolation"
+    authors:
+    - Giorgos Kappes
+    - Stergios V. Anastasiadis
+    tldr: "Diciclo provides a user-level framework that lets services customize their isolation mechanisms without kernel modifications, reducing interference among co-located tenants."
+    why_notable: "Multitenant isolation in cloud systems is typically a blunt instrument; this work shows that flexible, low-overhead isolation can be achieved entirely in user space."
+  - title: "SPATA: Effective OS Bug Detection with Summary-Based, Alias-Aware, and Path-Sensitive Typestate Analysis"
+    authors:
+    - Tuo Li
+    - Jia-Ju Bai
+    - Yulei Sui
+    - Shi-Min Hu
+    tldr: "SPATA applies a summary-based, alias-aware, and path-sensitive typestate analysis to detect resource-management bugs in OS kernels at scale."
+    why_notable: "Finding use-after-free and double-free bugs in OS code remains an open challenge; SPATA's precision improvements over prior static analyses make it a practical tool for kernel hardening."
+  - title: "Trinity: High-Performance and Reliable Mobile Emulation through Graphics Projection"
+    authors:
+    - Hao Lin
+    - Zhenhua Li
+    - Di Gao
+    - Yunhao Liu
+    - Feng Qian
+    - Tianyin Xu
+    - Bo Xiao
+    - Xiaokang Qin
+    tldr: "Trinity projects GPU rendering workloads from a mobile device onto a remote high-performance GPU, enabling faithful, high-throughput mobile emulation."
+    why_notable: "Mobile app testing at scale requires accurate emulation of GPU behavior; Trinity's graphics-projection design closes a long-standing fidelity gap in mobile emulators."
+  - title: "Optimizing Resource Management for Shared Microservices: A Scalable System Design"
+    authors:
+    - Shutian Luo
+    - Chenyu Lin
+    - Kejiang Ye
+    - Guoyao Xu
+    - Liping Zhang
+    - Guodong Yang
+    - Huanle Xu
+    - Cheng-Zhong Xu
+    tldr: "This paper presents a scalable resource-management system for shared microservices that reduces interference and improves utilization in large-scale production deployments."
+    why_notable: "Microservice co-location is the norm in modern clouds, yet managing their shared resources at scale remains unsolved; this work delivers practical, production-validated answers."
+  - title: "Hardware-Software Collaborative Tiered-Memory Management Framework for Virtualization"
+    authors:
+    - Sai Sha
+    - Chuandong Li
+    - Xiaolin Wang
+    - Zhenlin Wang
+    - Yingwei Luo
+    tldr: "A hardware-software co-design framework that transparently manages hot/cold data placement across DRAM and slower memory tiers inside virtual machines."
+    why_notable: "As CXL-attached and NVM memory tiers become mainstream in data centers, principled tiered-memory management in hypervisors becomes critical; this paper provides a solid baseline."
+  - title: "Component-distinguishable Co-location and Resource Reclamation for High-throughput Computing"
+    authors:
+    - Laiping Zhao
+    - Yushuai Cui
+    - Yanan Yang
+    - Xiaobo Zhou
+    - Tie Qiu
+    - Keqiu Li
+    - Yungang Bao
+    tldr: "This system differentiates micro-components of co-located workloads to reclaim idle resources precisely, boosting overall cluster throughput without violating SLOs."
+    why_notable: "Coarse-grained co-location wastes significant cluster capacity; the component-level granularity introduced here sets a new standard for resource-reclamation systems."
