"Analyzing Tail Latency in Serverless Clouds with STeLLAR" by @DmitriiUstiugov and team is a good read. It's great to see progress on ways to compare serverless performance, and to categorize the behavior of different serverless implementations. ease-lab.github.io/ease_website/p…

vHive v1.4 (github.com/ease-lab/vhive…) adds Google gVisor uVMs support along with Firecracker uVMs, and regular containers! Now you can experiment with a serverless cluster comprising any of these tech-s. Credit to TU Munich's students, Nathaniel Tornow and Alexandrina Panfil



Progress on the Human Knowledge Compression front: Artemiy Margaritov is the first winner of the 10x (1GB) version, winning €9000, by beating the baseline by 1.1%. Who wants to try next? prize.hutter1.net

vHive v1.3 release comes with the guides for porting arbitrary serverless workloads to #vHive, and analyzing their performance end-to-end & in-depth. We added tracing, showing both the provider and the user components (figures below). Got interesting workloads? Reach out!👍





New #vHive v1.2 brings support for multi-function #serverless apps, distributed latency tracing w/ Zipkin, microarchitectural profiling w/ Intel TopDown, and includes the first external contribution from our colleagues at ETHZ! @anaklimovic More details: github.com/ease-lab/vhive…
