Employing hardware accelerators to improve the performance and energy-efficiency of DNN
applications is on the rise. One challenge of using hardware accelerators, including the GPU …

Microservice is an architectural style that has been widely adopted in various latency-
sensitive applications. Similar to the monolith, autoscaling has attracted the attention of …

Multi-stage serverless applications, ie, workflows with many computation and I/O stages, are
becoming increasingly representative of FaaS platforms. Despite their advantages in terms …

Serverless platforms essentially face a tradeoff between container startup time and
provisioned concurrency (ie, cached instances), which is further exaggerated by the frequent …

Current serverless platforms struggle to optimize resource utilization due to their dynamic
and fine-grained nature. Conventional techniques like overcommitment and autoscaling fall …

Serverless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) offers improved programmability for customers, yet
it is not server-" less" and comes at the cost of more complex infrastructure management (eg …

Modern cloud services are implemented as graphs of loosely-coupled microservices to
improve programmability, reliability, and scalability. Service Level Objectives (SLOs) define …

The advances in virtualization technologies have sparked a growing transition from virtual
machine (VM)-based to container-based infrastructure for cloud computing. From the …

Modern user-facing services are progressively evolving from large monolithic applications to
complex graphs of loosely-coupled microservices. While microservice architecture greatly …

Microservice has become a de facto standard for building large-scale cloud applications.
Overload control is essential in preventing microservice failures and maintaining system …
