Serverless functions are often short-lived and have modest resource requirements, thereby presenting an opportunity to improve server utilization by colocating with latency-sensitive customer workloads. This paper presents ServerMore, a server-level resource manager that opportunistically colocates customer serverless jobs with serverful customer VMs. ServerMore dynamically regulates the CPU, memory bandwidth, and LLC resources on the server to ensure that the colocation between serverful and serverless workloads does not impact application tail latencies. By selectively admitting serverless functions and inferring the performance of black-box serverful workloads, ServerMore improves resource utilization on average by 35.9% to 245% compared to prior works; while having a minimal impact on the latency of both serverful applications and serverless functions.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Unfortunately, existing KV stores employ randomized data placement policies (e.g., consistent hashing) that ignore the client mobility and resulting variance in client-server latencies that are inherent to edge applications---the effect is largely suboptimal and inefficient data placement. We present Portkey, a distributed KV store that dynamically adapts data placement according to time-varying client mobility and data access patterns. The key insight with Portkey is to lean into the inherent mobility and prioritize rapid but approximate placement decisions over delayed optimal ones. Doing so enables the efficient tracking of client-server latencies despite edge resource constraints, and the use of greedy placement heuristics that are self-correcting over short timescales. Results with a realistic autonomous vehicle dataset and two small-scale deployments reveal that Portkey reduces average and tail request latency by 21-82% and 26-77% compared to existing placement strategies.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Applications are now deployed as a set of several small units communicating with each other - the microservice model. Moreover, each unit - a microservice, may be implemented as a virtual machine, container, function, etc., spanning the different Cloud and Edge service models including IaaS, PaaS, FaaS. A microservice is instantiated upon the reception of a request (e.g., an http packet or a trigger), and a rack-level or data-center-level scheduler decides the placement for such unit of execution considering for example data locality and load balancing. With such a configuration, it is common to encounter scenarios where different units, as well as multiple instances of the same unit, may be running on a single server at the same time. When multiple microservices are running on the same server not necessarily all of them are doing actual processing, some may be busy-waiting - i.e., waiting for events (or requests) sent by other units. However, these \"idle\" units are consuming CPU time which could be used by other running units or cloud utility functions on the server (e.g., monitoring daemons). In a controlled experiment, we observe that units can spend up to 20% - 55% of their CPU time waiting, thus a great amount of CPU time is wasted; these values significantly grow when overcommitting CPU resources (i.e., units CPU reservations exceed server CPU capacity), where we observe up to 69% - 75%. This is a result of the lack of information/context about what is running in each unit from the server CPU scheduler perspective. In this paper, we first provide evidence of the problem and discuss several research questions. Then, we propose an handful of solutions worth exploring that consists in revisiting hypervisor and host OS scheduler designs to reduce the CPU time wasted on idle units. Our proposal leverages the concepts of informed scheduling, and monitoring for internal and external events. Based on the aforementioned solutions, we propose our initial implementation on Linux/KVM.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Data provenance is a dominant existing approach to isolate data records responsible for a given output. However, data provenance concerns fault isolation only in the data-space, as opposed to fault isolation in the code-space---how can we precisely localize operations or APIs responsible for a given suspicious or incorrect result? We present OptDebug that identifies fault-inducing operations in a dataflow application using three insights. First, debugging is easier with a small-scale input than a large-scale input. So it uses data provenance to simplify the original input records to a smaller set leading to test failures and test successes. Second, keeping track of operation provenance is crucial for debugging. Thus, it leverages automated taint analysis to propagate the lineage of operations downstream with individual records. Lastly, each operation may contribute to test failures to a different degree. Thus OptDebug ranks each operation's spectra---the relative participation frequency in failing vs. passing tests. In our experiments, OptDebug achieves 100% recall and 86% precision in terms of detecting faulty operations and reduces the debugging time by 17x compared to a naïve approach. Overall, OptDebug shows great promise in improving developer productivity in today's complex data processing pipelines by obviating the need to re-execute the program repetitively with different inputs and manually examine program traces to isolate buggy code.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Due to their centralized nature, state-of-the-art schedulers that work well in datacenters lack the performance and feature requirements of such applications. We present OneEdge, a hybrid control plane that enables autonomous decision-making at edge sites for localized, rapid single-site application deployment. Edge sites handle mobility, churn, and load spikes, by cooperating with a centralized controller that allows coordinated multi-site scheduling and dynamic reconfiguration. OneEdge's scheduling decisions are driven by each application's end-to-end service level objective (E2E SLO) as well as the specific requirements of situation awareness applications. OneEdge's novel distributed state management combines autonomous decision-making at the edge sites for rapid localized resource allocations with decision-making at the central controller when multi-site application deployment is needed. Using a mix of applications on multi-region Azure instances, we show that, in contrast to centralized or fully distributed control planes, OneEdge caters to the unique requirements of situation awareness applications. Compared to a centralized control plane, OneEdge reduces deployment latency by 66% for single-site applications, without compromising E2E SLOs.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Placing LRA containers turns out to be particularly challenging due to the complex interference between co-located containers and the operation constraints in production clusters such as fault tolerance, disaster avoidance and incremental deployment. Existing schedulers typically provide APIs for operators to manually specify the container scheduling requirements and offer only qualitative scheduling guidelines for container placement. Such schedulers, do not perform well in terms of both performance and scale, while also requiring manual intervention. In this work, we propose George, an end-to-end generalpurpose LRA scheduler by leveraging the state-of-the-art Reinforcement Learning (RL) techniques to intelligently schedule LRA containers. We present an optimal container placement formulation for the first time with the objective of maximizing container placement performance subject to a set of operation constraints. One fundamental challenge in scheduling is to categorically satisfy different operation constraints in practice; specifically, to guarantee hard constraints and ensure soft constraints violations within a pre-defined threshold. We design a novel projection-based proximal policy optimization (PPPO) algorithm in combination with an Integer Linear optimization technique to intelligently schedule LRA containers under operation constraints. In order to reduce the training time, we apply transfer learning technique by taking advantage of the similarity in different LRA scheduling events. We prove theoretically that our proposed algorithm is effective, stable, and safe. We implement George as a plug-in service in Docker Swarm. Our in-house cluster demonstrates that George can maximize the LRA performance while enforcing the hard constraints and the soft constraints with a pre-defined threshold. The experiments show that George improves LRA performance and scale tremendously by requiring less than 1 hour scheduling time in a large cluster with 2K containers and 700 machines, 16x faster than existing schedulers. Compared with state-of-the-art alternatives, George also achieves 26% higher container performance with up to 70% lower constraint violation.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

These aggregate statistics help identify slow regions affecting the entire workload, but they are ill-suited for identifying slow regions that only impact a fraction of the workload, such as tail latency effects. This paper takes a new approach to performance profiling by utilizing distributed tracing systems (e.g., Dapper, Zipkin, Jaeger). Since traces provide detailed timing information on a per-request basis, it is possible to group and aggregate tracing data in many different ways to identify the slow parts of the system. Our new approach to trace aggregation uses the structure embedded within traces to hierarchically group similar traces and calculate increasingly detailed aggregate statistics based on how the traces are grouped. We also develop an automated tool for analyzing the hierarchy of statistics to identify the most likely performance issues. Our case study across two complex distributed systems illustrates how our tool is able to find multiple performance issues that lead to 10x and 28x performance improvements in terms of average and tail latency, respectively. Our comparison with a state-of-the-art industry tool shows that our tool can pinpoint performance slowdowns more accurately than current approaches.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...

Thus, these schedulers must define not only a scheduling policy, which selects which jobs run when fixed resources become available, but also a waiting policy, which selects which jobs wait for fixed resources when they are not available, rather than run on on-demand resources. As with scheduling policies, optimizing waiting policies requires a priori knowledge of job runtime. Unfortunately, prior work has shown that accurately predicting job runtime is challenging. In this paper, we show that optimizing job waiting in the cloud is possible without accurate job runtime predictions. To do so, we i) speculatively execute jobs on on-demand resources for a small time and cost to learn more about job runtime, and ii) develop a ML model to predict wait time from cluster state, which is more accurate and has less overhead than prior approaches that use job runtime predictions. We evaluate our approach on a year-long batch workload consisting of 14 million jobs, and show that it yields a cost and average wait time within 4% and 13%, respectively, of the optimal.","PeriodicalId":91949,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the ...
