We present a framework for scheduling multifunction serverless applications over a hybrid public-private cloud. A set of serverless jobs is input as a batch, and the objective is to schedule function executions over the hybrid platform to…
In Function as a Service (FaaS), a serverless computing variant, customers deploy functions instead of complete virtual machines or Linux containers. It is the cloud provider who maintains the runtime environment for these functions. FaaS…
Serverless computing, also referred to as Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), is a cloud computing model that has attracted significant attention and has been widely adopted in recent years. The serverless computing model offers an intuitive,…
Serverless computing has seen rapid growth due to the ease-of-use and cost-efficiency it provides. However, function scheduling, a critical component of serverless systems, has been overlooked. In this paper, we take a first-principles…
In Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) serverless, large applications are split into short-lived stateless functions. Deploying functions is mutually profitable: users need not be concerned with resource management, while providers can keep their…
Aggregated HPC resources have rigid allocation systems and programming models which struggle to adapt to diverse and changing workloads. Consequently, HPC systems fail to efficiently use the large pools of unused memory and increase the…
Function as a Service (FaaS) permits cloud customers to deploy to cloud individual functions, in contrast to complete virtual machines or Linux containers. All major cloud providers offer FaaS products (Amazon Lambda, Google Cloud…
Serverless computing enables a new way of building and scaling cloud applications by allowing developers to write fine-grained serverless or cloud functions. The execution duration of a cloud function is typically short-ranging from a few…
Serverless computing is a widely adopted cloud execution model composed of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) and Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) offerings. The increased level of abstraction makes vendor lock-in inherent to serverless computing,…
Serverless computing is becoming widely adopted among cloud providers, thus making increasingly popular the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model, where the developers realize services by packaging sequences of stateless function…
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is one of the most promising directions for the future of cloud services, and serverless functions have immediately become a new middleware for building scalable and cost-efficient microservices and…
High Speed computing meets ever increasing real-time computational demands through the leveraging of flexibility and parallelism. The flexibility is achieved when computing platform designed with heterogeneous resources to support…
Serverless computing along with Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) is forming a new computing paradigm that is anticipated to found the next generation of cloud systems. The popularity of this paradigm is due to offering a highly transparent…
The recent convergence of edge computing, serverless execution, and Kubernetes (K8s) based container orchestration has enabled the processing of application workflows close to data sources. While effective within a single edge cluster,…
Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has become a central paradigm in serverless cloud computing, yet optimizing FaaS deployments remains challenging. Using function fusion, multiple functions can be combined into a single deployment unit, which…
The increased use of micro-services to build web applications has spurred the rapid growth of Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) or serverless computing platforms. While FaaS simplifies provisioning and scaling for application developers, it…
High performance is needed in many computing systems, from batch-managed supercomputers to general-purpose cloud platforms. However, scientific clusters lack elastic parallelism, while clouds cannot offer competitive costs for…
Existing serverless workflow orchestration systems are predominantly designed for a single-cloud FaaS system, leading to vendor lock-in. This restricts performance optimization, cost reduction, and availability of applications. However,…
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…
Serverless computing promises convenient abstractions for developing and deploying functions that execute in response to events. In such Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, scheduling is an integral task, but current scheduling…
