ETS 2026 Acceptance!

I’m excited to share that our paper “Efficient Hash-to-Index via Rejection Sampling for Online Fault Detection with Bloom/Cuckoo Filters” has been accepted at ETS 2026!

In this work, we revisit a classic idea — rejection sampling — and show how it can be used as a practical, hardware-efficient alternative to division or multiplication for mapping hashes to table indices. This enables:

  • Arbitrary table sizes (no power-of-two constraint)
  • No division or DSP blocks
  • Zero extra latency in hardware

We integrate the approach into Bloom and Cuckoo filters on FPGA and show that it achieves comparable accuracy with significantly lower hardware cost — ideal for embedded and real-time systems.

👏 Congratulations to Elijah for leading this work — a very well-deserved achievement!
