In this short paper we investigate the combination of two emerging technologies: the tight provisioning requirements of Serverless computing and the acceleration potential of FPGAs. Serverless platforms suffer from container overheads, notably cold ...

Serverless computing has increased in popularity as a programming model for "Internet of Things" (IoT) applications that amalgamate IoT devices, edge-deployed computers and systems, and the cloud to interoperate. In this paper, we present Laminar - a ...

Serverless runtime systems are complex software artifacts and difficult to make reliable. We present a large-scale empirical study of bugs in serverless runtimes, in the context of the popular open-source Knative Serving serverless platform. We ...

A key principle in the design of the Linux kernel's Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) is fairness: all running tasks receive a minimum time slice during every scheduling period, ensuring that none starve. However, this may lead to a significant number ...

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 on the cloud ...

Scientific workflows are typically data- and compute-intensive. They consist of many stages, each of which may contain hundreds to even thousands of tasks. Traditionally, scientific workflows have been executed using the serverful computing model. ...

Serverless computing simplifies cloud programming by managing infrastructure and providing basic primitives for building distributed components. However, these efforts tend to increase complexity as developers create large, interdependent ...

Over the last few years, the serverless computing paradigm has become increasingly popular. Thanks to its cost-effectiveness and the possibility of relying on a cloud provider to manage the underlying infrastructure, companies making use of serverless ...

Open-source FaaS platforms have recently shown rapid growth, which is usually manifested as extension or specialization of existing cloud-native components and systems -mainly over Kubernetes- since they are provably capable of standing their ground ...
