Transparently enable serverless functions to use GPUs through CUDA APIs.

DGSF: Disaggregated GPUs for serverless functions

Meta Info

Presented in IPDPS 2022.

Understanding the paper

TL;DR

This paper presents DGSF, a platform that transparently enables serverless functions to use GPUs through CUDA APIs.

GPU disaggregation challenges

  • Support API transparency.
  • Hide the latency of communication with remote GPUs.
  • Load-balancing access to heavily shared GPUs.

Implementation

  • The prototype uses OpenFaaS v0.21.1 as serverless platform.
  • Assume all functions are invoked without a cold start.

Evaluation

  • The cost of API remoting?
  • The impact of DGSF's optimization?
  • Utilization increase and performance gains when consolidating functions?
  • The overhead of migration?
