Collaborative Research: CSR: Medium: Scaling Secure Serverless Computing on Heterogeneous Datacenters

未来的企业将拥有越来越多的异构资源。此外，云中的应用程序的要求也越来越多样化。为了有效地使用具有异构应用程序的异构数据中心，必须解决几个大的挑战。这个项目将研究无服务器计算作为异构数据中心平台的计算范例。它将创建新的抽象，扩展无服务器计算，以更好地利用独特的硬件特性，并提高无服务器应用程序运行环境的安全性。当前的云无服务器平台越来越受欢迎，但由于无法利用异构性而受到限制。如果该项目成功，该项目将以更高的效率和可扩展性将无服务器计算的实用性大大扩展到性能要求高的应用程序，同时还将提高其可靠性和安全性。该项目将把研究整合到UCF和NCSU的课程中，并提供免费的在线开源课程材料。行业合作伙伴将参与研究合作，实习和研讨会，以确保行业影响力和相关性。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Future datacenters will have increasingly heterogeneous resources. In addition, applications in the cloud are increasingly varied in their requirements. Several large challenges must be addressed to efficiently use a heterogeneous datacenter with heterogeneous applications. This project will investigate serverless computing as computing paradigm for heterogeneous datacenter platforms. It will create novel abstractions that extend serverless computing to better leverage unique hardware characteristics, and to improve the security of the environment serverless applications run on. Current cloud serverless platforms are rising in popularity but limited by their inability to take advantages of heterogeneity. If this project is successful, this project will greatly expand the utility of serverless computing to performance-demanding applications at higher efficiency and scalability, while also improving their reliability and security. The project will integrate the research into course curriculum at UCF and NCSU, with a free online open-source course materials. Industry partners will be involved in research collaboration, internships, and seminars, to ensure industry impact and relevance. The project will plug into various BPC activities at both universities.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
