FS: A Scalable and Elastic Distributed File System Metadata Service using Serverless Functions
Benjamin Carver, Runzhou Han, Jingyaun Zhang +2
The metadata service (MDS) sits on the critical path for distributed file system (DFS) operations, and therefore it is key to the overall performance of a large-scale DFS. Common "…
FaaSNet: Scalable and Fast Provisioning of Custom Serverless Container Runtimes at Alibaba Cloud Function Compute
Ao Wang, Shuai Chang, Huangshi Tian +5
Serverless computing, or Function-as-a-Service (FaaS), enables a new way of building and scaling applications by allowing users to deploy fine-grained functions while providing ful…
Wukong: A Scalable and Locality-Enhanced Framework for Serverless Parallel Computing
Benjamin Carver, Jingyuan Zhang, Ao Wang +3
Serverless computing is increasingly being used for parallel computing, which have traditionally been implemented as stateful applications. Executing complex, burst-parallel, direc…
FedAT: A High-Performance and Communication-Efficient Federated Learning System with Asynchronous Tiers
Zheng Chai, Yujing Chen, Ali Anwar +3
Federated learning (FL) involves training a model over massive distributed devices, while keeping the training data localized. This form of collaborative learning exposes new trade…
InfiniCache: Exploiting Ephemeral Serverless Functions to Build a Cost-Effective Memory Cache
Ao Wang, Jingyuan Zhang, Xiaolong Ma +6
Internet-scale web applications are becoming increasingly storage-intensive and rely heavily on in-memory object caching to attain required I/O performance. We argue that the emerg…
In Search of a Fast and Efficient Serverless DAG Engine
Benjamin Carver, Jingyuan Zhang, Ao Wang +1
Python-written data analytics applications can be modeled as and compiled into a directed acyclic graph (DAG) based workflow, where the nodes are fine-grained tasks and the edges a…
