Flare: A Fast, Secure, and Memory-Efficient Distributed Analytics Framework

Summary: Flare: SGX-based analytics engine with shadow operators/tasks to shrink TCB and domain-switch overheads and optional oblivious processing for access-pattern privacy. Memory-efficient operator granularities and adaptive parallelization yield 3–176× speedups vs prior secure frameworks and 2.8–28.3× vs libOS integration. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
