Energy consumption of Cloud data centers has been a major concern of many researchers, and one of the reasons for huge energy consumption of Clouds lies in the inefficient utilization of computing resources. Besides energy consumption,…
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…
The evolution of Large Language Model (LLM) serving towards complex, distributed architectures--specifically the P/D-separated, large-scale DP+EP paradigm--introduces distinct scheduling challenges. Unlike traditional deployments where…
Software debloating seeks to mitigate security risks and improve performance by eliminating unnecessary code. In recent years, a plethora of debloating tools have been developed, creating a dense and varied landscape. Several studies have…
Program debloating aims to enhance the performance and reduce the attack surface of bloated applications. Several techniques have been recently proposed to specialize programs. These approaches are either based on unsound strategies or…
Client-side metadata caching has long been considered an effective method for accelerating metadata operations in distributed file systems (DFSs). However, we have found that client-side state (e.g., caching) is not only ineffective but…
The last years have seen a steep rise in data generation worldwide, with the development and widespread adoption of several software projects targeting the Big Data paradigm. Many companies currently engage in Big Data analytics as part of…
Container startup latency is a critical performance metric for CI/CD pipelines, serverless computing, and auto-scaling systems, yet practitioners lack empirical guidance on how infrastructure choices affect this latency. We present a…
As the volume of data being produced is increasing at an exponential rate that needs to be processed quickly, it is reasonable that the data needs to be available very close to the compute devices to reduce transfer latency. Due to this…
This project investigates the benefits of containerization technology in modern software development and deployment. The study emphasizes the advantages of using Kubernetes and Docker in the development process, including the easy packaging…
Data availability is one of the most important features in distributed storage systems, made possible by data replication. Nowadays data are generated rapidly and the goal to develop efficient, scalable and reliable storage systems has…
Elasticity is a key property of cloud computing. However, elasticity is offered today at the granularity of virtual machines, which take tens of seconds to start. This is insufficient to react to load spikes and sudden failures in latency…
This paper investigates a critical resource allocation problem in the first party cloud: scheduling containers to machines. There are tens of services and each service runs a set of homogeneous containers with dynamic resource usage;…
Containers are becoming a popular workload deployment mechanism in modern distributed systems. However, there are limited software-based methods (hardware-based methods are expensive requiring hardware level changes) for obtaining the power…
Load balancing has been a fundamental building block of cloud and, more recently, edge computing environments. At the same time, in edge computing environments, prior research has highlighted that applications operate on similar…
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…
Web caching is essential for the World Wide Web, saving processing power, bandwidth, and reducing latency. Many proxy caching solutions focus on buffering data from the main server, neglecting cacheable information meant for server writes.…
With the growing demand for openness, scalability, and granularity, mobile network function virtualization (NFV) has emerged as a key enabler for most mobile network operators. NFV decouples network functions from hardware devices. This…
Serverless computing is a promising approach for edge computing since its inherent features, e.g., lightweight virtualization, rapid scalability, and economic efficiency. However, previous studies have not studied well the issues of…
Binary program analysis represents a fundamental pillar of modern system security. Fine-grained methodologies like dynamic taint analysis still suffer from deployment complexity and performance overhead despite significant progress.…
