Serverless computing relieves developers from the burden of resource management, thus providing ease-of-use to the users and the opportunity to optimize resource utilization for the providers. However, today's serverless systems lack…
Serverless technologies, also known as FaaS (Function as a Service), are promoted as solutions that provide dynamic scalability, speed of development, cost-per-consumption model, and the ability to focus on the code while taking attention…
Serverless computing has emerged as a compelling paradigm for the development and deployment of a wide range of event based cloud applications. At the same time, cloud providers and enterprise companies are heavily adopting machine learning…
Serverless Computing is a virtualisation-related paradigm that promises to simplify application management and to solve the last challenges in the field: scale down and easy to use. The implied cost reduction, coupled with a simplified…
Serverless computing is an emerging cloud computing paradigm for developing applications at the function level, known as serverless functions. Due to the highly dynamic execution environment, multiple identical runs of the same serverless…
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) promises the ability to compute over encrypted data without revealing sensitive contents. However, enabling high-frequency updates and statistical analysis in outsourced databases remains elusive due to…
Serverless clouds promise efficient scaling, reduced toil and monetary costs. Yet, serverless-ing a complex, legacy application might require major refactoring and thus is risky. As a case study, we use Airflow, an industry-standard…
The ever-increasing gap between compute and I/O performance in HPC platforms, together with the development of novel NVMe storage devices (NVRAM), led to the emergence of the burst buffer concept - an intermediate persistent storage layer…
Modern HPC workload managers and their careful tuning contribute to the high utilization of HPC clusters. However, due to inevitable uncertainty it is impossible to completely avoid node idleness. Although such idle slots are usually too…
Non-uniform performance and power consumption across the processing elements (PEs) of heterogeneous SoCs increase the computation complexity of the task scheduling problem compared to homogeneous architectures. Latency of a software-based…
As the Moore's scaling era comes to an end, application specific hardware accelerators appear as an attractive way to improve the performance and power efficiency of our computing systems. A massively heterogeneous system with a large…
Serverless is an attractive computing model that offers seamless scalability and elasticity; it takes the infrastructure management burden away from users and enables a pay-as-you-use billing model. As a result, serverless is becoming…
Since the appearance of Amazon Lambda in 2014, all major cloud providers have embraced the Function as a Service (FaaS) model, because of its enormous potential for a wide variety of applications. As expected (and also desired), the…
Due to the high scalability, infrastructure management, and pay-per-use pricing model, serverless computing has been adopted in a wide range of applications such as real-time data processing, IoT, and AI-related workflows. However,…
Recent years have witnessed increasing interest in machine learning inferences on serverless computing for its auto-scaling and cost effective properties. Existing serverless computing, however, lacks effective job scheduling methods to…
In the past few years, we have envisioned an increasing number of businesses start driving by big data analytics, such as Amazon recommendations and Google Advertisements. At the back-end side, the businesses are powered by big data…
Serverless computing has seen rapid adoption due to its high scalability and flexible, pay-as-you-go billing model. In serverless, developers structure their services as a collection of functions, sporadically invoked by various events like…
We consider a natural scheduling problem which arises in many distributed computing frameworks. Jobs with diverse resource requirements (e.g. memory requirements) arrive over time and must be served by a cluster of servers, each with a…
Serverless platforms have attracted attention due to their promise of elasticity, low cost, and fast deployment. Instead of using a fixed virtual machine (VM) infrastructure, which can incur considerable costs to operate and run, serverless…
Edge computing enables latency-critical applications to process data close to end devices, yet task heterogeneity and limited resources pose significant challenges to efficient orchestration. This paper presents a measurement-driven,…
