Hyper-scale data centers, such as Bytedance, have a strong need for optimal RPC performance. Homa is purpose-built for RPCs making it ideal for such environments.

In this talk, Xiaochun Lu and Zijian Zhang do a comparative study of gRPC's performance on Homa versus over TCP. They observe clear performance advantages in favor of Homa, especially for RPC messages under 50KB, in terms of both latency and throughput. Like John's talk[1], they optimize longer RPC messages and improve bidirectional messaging. Xiaochun and Zijian will further provide performance insights, describe their mods to the Homa kernel code, and guide participants through the tangible benefits of integrating Homa into their RPC transport framework.
