The serverless computing model strengthens the cloud computing tendency to abstract resource management. Serverless platforms are responsible for deploying and scaling the developer's applications. Serverless also incorporated the…
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…
Serverless computing promises fine-grained elasticity and operational simplicity, fueling widespread interest from both industry and academia. Yet this promise is undercut by the cold setart problem, where invoking a function after a period…
Serverless computing simplifies deployment and scaling, yet cold-start latency remains a major performance bottleneck. Unlike prior work that treats mitigation as a black-box optimization, we study cold starts as a developer-visible design…
In many machine learning applications, labeling datasets can be an arduous and time-consuming task. Although research has shown that semi-supervised learning techniques can achieve high accuracy with very few labels within the field of…
Scaling up the backup storage for an ever-increasing volume of virtual machine (VM) images is a critical issue in virtualization environments. While deduplication is known to effectively eliminate duplicates for VM image storage, it also…
It is common today to deploy complex software inside a virtual machine (VM). Snapshots provide rapid deployment, migration between hosts, dependability (fault tolerance), and security (insulating a guest VM from the host). Yet, for each…
As an emerging cloud computing deployment paradigm, serverless computing is gaining traction due to its efficiency and ability to harness on-demand cloud resources. However, a significant hurdle remains in the form of the cold start…
In hybrid Model Predictive Control (MPC), a Mixed-Integer Quadratic Program (MIQP) is solved at each sampling time to compute the optimal control action. Although these optimizations are generally very demanding, in MPC we expect…
Serverless computing is an emerging cloud paradigm that offers an elastic and scalable allocation of computing resources with pay-as-you-go billing. In the Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model, applications comprise short-lived…
Crash consistency using persistent memory programming libraries requires programmers to use complex transactions and manual annotations. In contrast, the failure-atomic msync() (FAMS) interface is much simpler as it transparently tracks…
In the context of asynchronous concurrent shared-memory systems, a snapshot algorithm allows failure-prone processes to concurrently and atomically write on the entries of a shared array MEM , and also atomically read the whole array.…
Memory has become the primary cost driver in cloud data centers. Yet, a significant portion of memory allocated to VMs in public clouds remains unused. To optimize this resource, "cold" memory can be reclaimed from VMs and stored on slower…
Advances in storage technology have introduced Non-Volatile Memory, NVM, as a new storage medium. NVM, along with Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM), Solid State Disk (SSD), and Disk present a system designer with a wide array of options…
Recently, academics and the corporate sector have paid attention to serverless computing, which enables dynamic scalability and an economic model. In serverless computing, users only pay for the time they actually use resources, enabling…
Label scarcity has been a long-standing issue for biomedical image segmentation, due to high annotation costs and professional requirements. Recently, active learning (AL) strategies strive to reduce annotation costs by querying a small…
NVM-based systems are naturally fit candidates for incorporating periodic checkpointing (or snapshotting). This increases the reliability of the system, makes it more immune to power failures, and reduces wasted work in especially an HPC…
Being able to spot defective parts is a critical component in large-scale industrial manufacturing. A particular challenge that we address in this work is the cold-start problem: fit a model using nominal (non-defective) example images…
This work investigates the problem of instance-level image retrieval re-ranking with the constraint of memory efficiency, ultimately aiming to limit memory usage to 1KB per image. Departing from the prevalent focus on performance…
Unified Virtual Memory (UVM) was recently introduced on recent NVIDIA GPUs. Through software and hardware support, UVM provides a coherent shared memory across the entire heterogeneous node, migrating data as appropriate. The older CUDA…
