Low-Latency IoT applications such as autonomous vehicles, augmented/virtual reality devices and security applications require high computation resources to make decisions on the fly. However, these kinds of applications cannot tolerate…

Serverless computing that runs functions with auto-scaling is a popular task execution pattern in the cloud-native era. By connecting serverless functions into workflows, tenants can achieve complex functionality. Prior researches adopt the…

We present robust dynamic resource allocation mechanisms to allocate application resources meeting Service Level Objectives (SLOs) agreed between cloud providers and customers. In fact, two filter-based robust controllers, i.e. H-infinity…

Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models offer high capacity with efficient inference cost by activating a small subset of expert models per input. However, deploying MoE models requires all experts to reside in memory, creating a gap between the…

Data intensive applications often involve the analysis of large datasets that require large amounts of compute and storage resources. While dedicated compute and/or storage farms offer good task/data throughput, they suffer low resource…

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…

Serving Large Language Models (LLMs) in production faces significant challenges from highly variable request patterns and severe resource fragmentation in serverless clusters. Current systems rely on static pipeline configurations that…

Sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) models can outperform dense large language models at similar computation by activating only a small set of experts per token. However, stacking many expert modules introduces substantial parameter memory,…

Multi-cloud computing systems face significant challenges in ensuring acceptable performance while adhering to tenant budget requirements. This paper proposes a tenant budget-aware (tenant-centric) data replication framework for Multi-Cloud…

In the last decade we have witnessed a rapid growth in data center systems, requiring new and highly complex networking devices. The need to refresh networking infrastructure whenever new protocols or functions are introduced, and the…

This paper proposes an architectural framework for the efficient orchestration of containers in cloud environments. It centres around resource scheduling and rescheduling policies as well as autoscaling algorithms that enable the creation…

We consider how underused computing resources within an enterprise may be harnessed to improve utilization and create an elastic computing infrastructure. Most current cloud provision involves a data center model, in which clusters of…

Cloud-edge serverless applications or serverless deployments spanning multiple regions introduce the need to govern the scheduling of functions to satisfy their functional constraints or avoid performance degradation. For instance,…

The advent of serverless computing has revolutionized the landscape of cloud computing, offering a new paradigm that enables developers to focus solely on their applications rather than managing and provisioning the underlying…

In cloud machine learning (ML) inference systems, providing low latency to end-users is of utmost importance. However, maximizing server utilization and system throughput is also crucial for ML service providers as it helps lower the…

Although cloud computing offers many advantages with regards to adaption of resources, we witness either a strong resistance or a very slow adoption to those new offerings. One reason for the resistance is that (i) many technologies such as…

Serverless computing, commonly offered as Function-as-a-Service, was initially designed for small, lean applications. However, there has been an increasing desire to run larger, more complex applications (what we call bulky applications) in…

Multi-stage serverless applications, i.e., workflows with many computation and I/O stages, are becoming increasingly representative of FaaS platforms. Despite their advantages in terms of fine-grained scalability and modular development,…

For distributed applications to take full advantage of cloud computing systems, we need middleware systems that allow developers to build elasticity management components right into the applications. This paper describes the design and…

The Cloud-Edge continuum enhances application performance by bringing computation closer to data sources. However, it presents considerable challenges in managing resources and determining service placement, as these tasks require…
