The 2nd Tutorial on vHive & Serverless Research

Learn how to innovate across deep distributed serverless-computing stack, from distributed systems and operating systems down to computer architecture.

The tutorial is co-located with SOSP 2023.

Venue: Room 4.
October 23rd, 2023.
Koblenz, Germany.

Slides can be found here. Join the tutorial's Slack space (recommended).

Please sign up beforehand to participate in the hands-on sessions. Please bring a laptop, from which you can SSH to a remote cloud VM.

Recordings from the last year's tutorial are available on its website and YouTube.

Tutorial Description

This tutorial provides introduces the vHive ecosystem, a full-stack open-source framework for serverless experimentation and innovation. The tutorial seeks to educate the community about serverless computing architecture and benchmarking methodology, and teach the researchers from the computer systems community to use vHive for their research. The tutorial includes a number of hands-on and demo sessions on analyzing performance of serverless applications and systems, instrumenting serverless infrastructure across the stack. 

We will also showcase new vHive features, namely cluster-level performance analysis with In-Vitro, distributed cloud-edge deployment with Knative atop of OpenYurt, and serverless workflow programming with Apache Airflow atop of Knative.

vHive Ecosystem

Study

Benchmark serverless clouds with STeLLAR and In-Vitro, both end-to-end and in-depth.

Innovate

vHive is a full-stack open-source framework for serverless cloud and cloud-edge experimentation, integrating production technologies for cluster management, virtualization, and workflow programming.

Evaluate

vSwarm benchmark suite contains 30+ microbenchmarks and 8 complex applications with distributed tracing and low-level profiling support.

Schedule

Come early to get help in setting up access to cloud so that you can get hands-on experience with vHive
