This paper analyzes a newly-published trace that covers 8 different Borg [35] clusters for the
month of May 2019. The trace enables researchers to explore how scheduling works in …

With user-facing apps adopting serverless computing, good latency performance of
serverless platforms has become a strong fundamental requirement. However, it is difficult to …

Content-based image retrieval is currently a very important area of research in the area of
multimedia databases. Plenty of research work has been undertaken to design efficient …

Serverless computing is a rapidly growing paradigm that easily harnesses the power of the
cloud. With serverless computing, developers simply provide an event-driven function to …

While today's data centers are multiplexed across many non-cooperating applications, they
lack effective means to share their network. Relying on TCP's congestion control, as we …

We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of an API for applications to control a
software-defined network (SDN). Our API is implemented by an OpenFlow controller that …

Traditionally, the study of scheduling policies has focused on performance metrics such as
response time, queue length, and throughput. However, the more vague notion of 'fairness' …

Serverless computing has emerged as a new paradigm for running short-lived computations
in the cloud. Due to its ability to handle IoT workloads, there has been considerable interest …

Workload generators may be classified as based on a closed system model, where new job
arrivals are only triggered by job completions (followed by think time), or an open system …

Join the Shortest Queue (JSQ) is a popular routing policy for server farms. However, until
now all analysis of JSQ has been limited to First-Come-First-Serve (FCFS) server farms …
