We present FunLess, a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform tailored for the private edge cloud system. FunLess responds to recent trends that advocate for extending the coverage of serverless computing to private edge cloud systems and…

'How can GPU acceleration be obtained as a service in a cluster?' This question has become increasingly significant due to the inefficiency of installing GPUs on all nodes of a cluster. The research reported in this paper is motivated to…

Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a Serverless Cloud paradigm where a platform manages the execution scheduling (e.g., resource allocation, runtime environments) of stateless functions. Recent developments demonstrate the benefits of using…

Serverless computing has made it easier than ever to deploy applications over scalable cloud resources, all the while driving higher utilization for cloud providers. While this technique has worked well for easily divisible resources like…

In recent years, serverless computing, especially Function as a Service (FaaS), is rapidly growing in popularity as a cloud programming model. The serverless computing model provides an intuitive interface for developing cloud-based…

Serverless computing with cloud functions is quickly gaining adoption, but constrains programmers with its limited support for state management. We introduce a shared file system for cloud functions. It offers familiar POSIX semantics while…

5G and beyond support the deployment of vertical applications, which is particularly appealing in combination with network slicing and edge computing to create a logically isolated environment for executing customer services. Even if…

FaaS (Function-as-a-Service) revolutionized cloud computing by replacing persistent virtual machines with dynamically allocated resources. This shift trades locality and statefulness for a pay-as-you-go model more suited to variable and…

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is a cloud service model enabling developers to offload event-driven executable snippets of code. The execution and management of such functions becomes a FaaS provider's responsibility, hereby included their…

Rapid adoption of the serverless (or Function-as-a-Service, FaaS) paradigm, pioneered by Amazon with AWS Lambda and followed by numerous commercial offerings and open source projects, introduces new challenges in designing the cloud…

In cloud event processing, data generated at the edge is processed in real-time by cloud resources. Both distributed stream processing (DSP) and Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) have been proposed to implement such event processing…

In FaaS, users invoke remote functions, which encapsulate service(s). These functions typically need to remotely access a persistent state via external services: this makes the paradigm less attractive in edge systems, especially for IoT…

Serverless execution and most notably the Function as a Service (FaaS) model got quite some attention during the recent years. As of today, all commercial and open source implementations follow the common practice of keeping the execution…

Serverless computing has emerged as a new paradigm for running short-lived computations in the cloud. Due to its ability to handle IoT workloads, there has been considerable interest in running serverless functions at the edge. However, the…

Serverless computing has become a major trend among cloud providers. With serverless computing, developers fully delegate the task of managing the servers, dynamically allocating the required resources, as well as handling availability and…

Applications that fuse machine learning and simulation can benefit from the use of multiple computing resources, with, for example, simulation codes running on highly parallel supercomputers and AI training and inference tasks on…

The Function-as-a-service (FaaS) computing model has recently seen significant growth especially for highly scalable, event-driven applications. The easy-to-deploy and cost-efficient fine-grained billing of FaaS is highly attractive to big…
