Despite its benefits, serverless edge computing's zero scalability is the major source of the cold start delay, which is yet unsolved. This latency is unacceptable for time-sensitive Internet of Things (IoT) applications like autonomous cars. Most existing approaches need containers to idle and use extra computing resources. Edge devices have fewer resources than cloud-based systems, requiring new sustainable solutions. Therefore, we propose an AI-powered, sustainable resource management framework called ATOM for serverless edge computing. ATOM utilizes a deep reinforcement learning model to predict exactly when cold start latency will happen. We create a cold start dataset using a heart disease risk scenario and deploy using Google Cloud Functions. To demonstrate the superiority of ATOM, its performance is compared with two different baselines, which use the warm-start containers and a two-layer adaptive approach. The experimental results showed that although the ATOM required more calculation time of 118.76 seconds, it performed better in predicting cold start than baseline models with an RMSE ratio of 148.76.

As one of the core subsystems of a data center, the cooling system provides a reliable thermal environment for the safe operation of IT equipment while posing a huge energy consumption and carbon emission problem. Thus, it is evident that optimizing energy management of cooling systems with considerable energy-saving potential will be essential to realize the green and low-carbon development of CDCs. Therefore, to track the research progress of data center thermal management technologies, this review focuses on two research efforts: thermal modeling and thermal-aware energy saving methods. First, various thermal modeling approaches are reviewed for air-cooled and liquid-cooled data centers. Secondly, a comprehensive review of existing advanced thermal management approaches is conducted from three perspectives: thermal-aware IT load scheduling, cooling system control optimization, and joint optimization of the IT and cooling systems. Finally, we put forward some open issues and future research directions for thermal management that have not been completely solved. This review aims to provide reasonable suggestions to enhance cooling energy efficiency and further promote the transformation of CDCs to lower energy consumption and sustainable direction.","PeriodicalId":13268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing","volume":"9 3","pages":"571-590"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141264413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Personalized FL (pFL) has been proposed to overcome this problem. However, existing pFL approaches mainly focus on measuring differences between entire model dimensions across clients, ignore the layer-wise differences in convolutional neural networks (CNNs), which may lead to inaccurate personalization. Additionally, two potential threats in FL are that malicious clients may attempt to poison the entire federation by tampering with local labels, and the model information uploaded by clients makes them vulnerable to inference attacks. To tackle these issues, 1) we propose a novel pFL approach in which clients minimize local classification errors and align the local and global prototypes for data from the class that is shared with other clients. This method adopts layer-wise collaborative training to achieve more granular personalization and converts local prototypes to the frequency domain to prevent source data leakage; 2) To prevent the FL model from misclassifying certain test samples as expected by poisoners, we design a robust aggregation method to ensure that benign clients who provide trustworthy model predictions for its local data are weighted far more heavily in the aggregation process than malicious clients. Experiments show that our scheme, especially in the data heterogeneity situation, can produce robust performance and more stable convergence while preserving privacy.","PeriodicalId":13268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing","volume":"9 3","pages":"535-547"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141264311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the considerable energy consumption associated with blockchain, exemplified by Bitcoin, has raised sustainability concerns. This paper introduces BitFT, a consensus protocol that combines the strengths of both lottery-based and voting-based mechanisms to offer a sustainable, comprehensible, and high-performance solution. BitFT dissects the block lifecycle into three phases: dissemination, and commitment phases, which correspond to the Bitcoin framework. It leverages a multiple-round sortition algorithm, a Reliable Broadcast (Rbc) protocol, and a Quorum Certificate (QC) mechanism to facilitate efficient protocol operation. The sortition algorithm functions like a lottery algorithm, while the \u0000Rbc\u0000 protocol and \u0000<inline-formula><tex-math>$QC$</tex-math></inline-formula>\u0000 mechanism are implemented based on votes. In order to maximize network utilization and enhance system throughput, we further introduce a layered architecture to BitFT, which allows for concurrent commitment of multiple blocks at the same height.

Despite considerable research efforts in this field, existing works fail to jointly consider essential factors such as energy, reliability, personalized user requirements, and stochastic application executions. This oversight results in an inefficient utilization of computation and communication resources within serverless edge computing networks, subsequently diminishing the profit of service providers and degrading the quality-of-experience (QoE) of end users. In this paper, we explore the problem of reliability-ensured personalized function scheduling (REPFS) to jointly optimize the profit of service providers and the holistic QoE of end users in sustainable serverless edge computing. A personality-driven user QoE prediction method is first designed to accurately estimate the QoE of individual end users with differentiated personality types. Afterward, a deterministic function scheduling policy is developed on the problem-specific augmented non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II (PSA-NSGA-II). Given the inherent uncertainty of application executions, a stochastic function scheduling strategy that can be easily parallelized for modern multicore scheduler platforms is also devised to accelerate solution generation for stochastic applications. Experimental results show that our deterministic function scheduling policy achieves 15% performance enhancement compared with representative multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. Furthermore, our stochastic function scheduling strategy promotes the service profit by 78% and the holistic user QoE by 118% on average compared with the developed deterministic scheduling policy.","PeriodicalId":13268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing","volume":"9 3","pages":"494-511"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10334010","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141264524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The largest energy consumer in any data center is the IT, followed by the systems dedicated to cooling. Aiming to improve efficiency, and driven by metrics like PUE, there is a trend towards running data centers hotter to reduce the cooling energy. There is little research investigating the effect this will have on the IT beyond failure rates. To ensure overall efficiency is improving, we must view the data center as a system of systems, taking a holistic view rather than focusing on individual sub-systems. In this paper we use industry standard benchmarks and a wind-tunnel to profile typical enterprise IT. We analyze the effect of environmental conditions on IT efficiency, showing minor increases in temperature or pressure impact the efficiency of servers. Using an idealized, simulated data center case study we show that the interaction between cooling systems, server behavior and local climate are non-trivial and increasing temperatures has potential to worsen efficiency.","PeriodicalId":13268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing","volume":"9 3","pages":"482-493"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141264312","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, when data owners may want to sell their data without revealing privacy, data consumers also face the dilemma of high purchase costs due to purchasing too much invalid data. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a data trading scheme that can protect personal privacy and save expenses simultaneously.

Technically, we focus on the group-level pricing strategy to make ACCESS easier to implement. The differential privacy technique is applied to protect the data owners’ privacy, and the sampling algorithm is adopted to reduce the data consumers’ costs. Specifically, to provide a maximum tolerant privacy loss guarantee for the data owners, we design a decision algorithm to detect whether a conflict occurs between the consumer-specified accuracy level and the maximum tolerable privacy loss budget. Besides, to minimize the purchase cost for the data brokers, we develop a sampling-based aggregation method consisting of two sampling algorithms (called as BUSA and BKSA, respectively). BUSA enables reducing purchase costs with no additional background knowledge. Once the data broker knows the data boundary, BKSA can significantly reduce the amount of data that needs to be purchased, thereby the purchase cost is reduced. Rigorous theoretical analysis and extensive experiments (over four real-world and public datasets) further demonstrate the practicability of ACCESS.","PeriodicalId":13268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing","volume":"9 3","pages":"452-463"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135610928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Separately optimizing them leads to inefficient results, and there is a need for a perfect synergy between software and hardware for optimal outcomes. We present a novel combinatorial optimization problem for the minimization of the software execution time on a specific hardware, taking into account the existing uncertainty in the system. A solution to the problem is a sequence of LLVM code transformations, and a cellular genetic algorithm is used to find it. Assuming that hardware does not change, reducing the software runtime typically leads to a greener version with lower consumption. To cope with the uncertainty, two novel approaches relying on bootstrap method to compute confident intervals of the software runtime at negligible cost are proposed and compared to three other techniques and −O3 Clang compilation flag over four hardware architectures. Results show how the proposed approach effectively copes with the uncertainty, providing more robust solutions with respect to the compared methods. The execution time of the raw program is reduced from 28.1% to up to 63.2%, outperforming −O3 flag by 13.9% to 26.3%, for the different architectures.","PeriodicalId":13268,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Transactions on Sustainable Computing","volume":"9 3","pages":"464-481"},"PeriodicalIF":3.9,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135501605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
