Reconfigurable architectures like Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) have been used for accelerating computations in several domains because of their unique combination of flexibility, performance, and power efficiency. However, FPGAs…

Serverless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms provide applications with resources that are highly elastic, quick to instantiate, accounted at fine granularity, and without the need for explicit runtime resource orchestration. This…

Function-as-a-Service is a popular cloud programming model that supports developers by abstracting away most operational concerns with automatic deployment and scaling of applications. Due to the high level of abstraction, developers rely…

We investigate and characterize the performance of an important class of operations on GPUs and Many Integrated Core (MIC) architectures. Our work is motivated by applications that analyze low-dimensional spatial datasets captured by high…

Cloud computing enables remote execution of users tasks. The pervasive adoption of cloud computing in smart cities services and applications requires timely execution of tasks adhering to Quality of Services (QoS). However, the increasing…

We propose CFS, a distributed file system for large scale container platforms. CFS supports both sequential and random file accesses with optimized storage for both large files and small files, and adopts different replication protocols for…

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…

In recent years, due to a higher demand for portable devices, which provide restricted amounts of processing capacity and battery power, the need for energy and time efficient hard- and software solutions has increased. Preliminary…

A fundamental question lies in almost every application of deep neural networks: what is the optimal neural architecture given a specific dataset? Recently, several Neural Architecture Search (NAS) frameworks have been developed that use…

Growing data volumes and velocities are driving exciting new methods across the sciences in which data analytics and machine learning are increasingly intertwined with research. These new methods require new approaches for scientific…

Cloud computing is driven by economies of scale. A cloud system uses virtualization technology to provide cloud resources (e.g. CPU, memory) to users in form of virtual machines. Virtual machine (VM), which is a sandbox for user…

Offloading computation from user devices to nodes with processing capabilities at the edge of the network is a major trend in today's network/service architectures. At the same time, serverless computing has gained a huge traction among the…

FPGAs offer high performance, low latency, and energy efficiency for accelerated computing, yet adoption in scientific and edge settings is limited by the specialized hardware expertise required. High-level synthesis (HLS) boosts…

In addition to hardware wall-time restrictions commonly seen in high-performance computing systems, it is likely that future systems will also be constrained by energy budgets. In the present work, finite difference algorithms of varying…

Performance interference can occur when various services are executed over the same physical infrastructure in a cloud system. This can lead to performance degradation compared to the execution of services in isolation. This work proposes a…

Despite its already widespread popularity, it continues to gain adoption. More and more developers and architects continue to adopt and apply the FaaS (Function as a Service) model in cloud solutions. The most extensively used FaaS service…

Performance has always been a hot topic in computing. However, the viable ways to achieve it have taken many forms in the different moments of computing history. Today, technological limits have pushed the adoption of increasingly parallel…

While it is well-known and acknowledged that the performance of graph algorithms is heavily dependent on the input data, there has been surprisingly little research to quantify and predict the impact the graph structure has on performance.…

In this paper, we address the problem of supporting stateful workflows following a Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) model in edge networks. In particular we focus on the problem of data transfer, which can be a performance bottleneck due to the…

Neural Architecture Search (NAS) has enabled the possibility of automated machine learning by streamlining the manual development of deep neural network architectures defining a search space, search strategy, and performance estimation…
