The proliferation of GPS-enabled devices has led to the development of numerous location-based services. These services need to process massive amounts of spatial data in real-time. The current scale of spatial data cannot be handled using…
Predictive machine learning models nowadays are often updated in a stateless and expensive way. The two main future trends for companies that want to build machine learning-based applications and systems are real-time inference and…
Serverless computing has become a major trend among cloud providers. With serverless computing, developers fully delegate the task of managing the servers, dynamically allocating the required resources, as well as handling availability and…
Network bound applications, like a database server executing OLTP queries or a caching server storing objects for a dynamic web applications, are essential services that consumers and businesses use daily. These services run on a large…
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…
Software as a service (SaaS) has recently enjoyed much attention as it makes the use of software more convenient and cost-effective. At the same time, the arising of users' expectation for high quality service such as real-time information…
This work presents HotSwap, a novel provider-side cold-start optimization for serverless computing. This optimization reduces cold-start time when booting and loading dependencies at runtime inside a function container. Previous research…
Coded caching is a technique that leverages locally cached contents at the end users to reduce the network's peak-time communication load. Coded caching has been shown to achieve significant performance gains compared to uncoded schemes and…
Layout-Aware Data Scheduler (LADS) data transfer tool, identifies and addresses the issues that lead to congestion on the path of an end-to-end data transfer in the terabit network environments. It exploits the underlying storage layout at…
Serverless computing has emerged as a very popular cloud technology, together with its companion Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) programming model enabling invocations of stateless functions from clients. An evolution of serverless is now…
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…
The exponential growth of Internet of Things (IoT) has given rise to a new wave of edge computing due to the need to process data on the edge, closer to where it is being produced and attempting to move away from a cloud-centric…
Over a past few decades, VM's or Virtual machines have sort of gained a lot of momentum, especially for large scale enterprises where the need for resource optimization & power save is humongous, without compromising with performance or…
Containers are standalone, self-contained units that package software and its dependencies together. They offer lightweight performance isolation, fast and flexible deployment, and fine-grained resource sharing. They have gained popularity…
The Function-as-a-service (FaaS) computing model has recently seen significant growth especially for highly scalable, event-driven applications. The easy-to-deploy and cost-efficient fine-grained billing of FaaS is highly attractive to big…
On the Internet, sub-millisecond queueing delay and capacity-seeking have traditionally been considered mutually exclusive. We introduce a service that offers both: Low Latency Low Loss Scalable throughput (L4S). When tested under a wide…
Layer-2 protocols can assist Ethereum's limited throughput, but globally broadcasting layer-2 data limits their scalability. The Danksharding evolution of Ethereum aims to support the selective distribution of layer-2 data, whose…
The appeal of serverless (FaaS) has triggered a growing interest on how to use it in data-intensive applications such as ETL, query processing, or machine learning (ML). Several systems exist for training large-scale ML models on top of…
The massive growth of mobile and IoT devices demands geographically distributed computing systems for optimal performance, privacy, and scalability. However, existing edge-to-cloud serverless platforms lack location awareness, resulting in…
WebAssembly (Wasm) is a bytecode format originally serving as a compilation target for Web applications. It has recently been used increasingly on the server side, e.g., providing a safer, faster, and more portable alternative to Linux…
