Congrats @TAmariucai on his outstanding undergrad thesis award at the University of Edinburgh on his work on serverless cloud benchmarking, a.k.a. STeLLAR! project-archive.inf.ed.ac.uk… IISWC'21 paper: ease-lab.github.io/ease_webs…
The recordings and slides from our vHive & serverless tutorial at @ASPLOSConf '22 are now available. YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL… Slides: drive.google.com/drive/folde… Credits to @ease_lab, @farllamas, @Ryfeus, and our colleagues at @SystemsGroupETH
The vHive & serverless tutorial @ASPLOSConf was a big success thanks to @BorisGrot and all other organizers! 9 speakers from @icsaAtEd and @ease_lab, @SystemsGroupETH, Stanford, and two companies. 47 participants from > 14 organizations and 9 countries (online & in-person)

Thanks, Marc! I'd like to note that STeLLAR is available on GitHub (github.com/ease-lab/STeLLAR) so the community can give it a try STeLLAR supports benchmarking AWS, Azure and Google FaaS as well as vHive/Knative (github.com/ease-lab/vhive)
"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_webs…

A productive summer for the vHive team at @ease_lab! A lot of credit goes to our fantastic project students and interns: @boramalper @mikebaczun @shyam_jesal @TAmariucai 👏 Stay tuned for more updates 👀
vHive v1.4 (github.com/ease-lab/vhive/re…) 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
More fun & profit work at EASE: @A_Margaritov received a Google Patch Reward for discovering and mitigating a security vulnerability in Linux KVM. Bravo Artemiy! 👏👏👏 The accepted patch: kernel.googlesource.com/pub/… About the award: google.co.uk/about/appsecuri…
3-year postdoc position for topics of intersection of net/os/storage is available. The latest starting date is 1 March. elxw.fa.em3.oraclecloud.com/… RT much appreciated! @csfacultyjobs
@ease_lab members enjoy doing research for fun & profit! Congrats, @A_Margaritov ! 🎉
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/

In the new release, vHive combines the provider and the user tracing for comprehensive performance analysis 💪 Credit to the vHive team at @ease_lab
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!👍

Stay tuned with the research at EASE, subscribe to our YouTube channel: youtube.com/channel/UCJD9FpX… and the list of talks is to grow in 2021! 💪
We release vHive, an open-source framework for serverless experimentation and innovation across the full serverless stack. Check our ASPLOS'21 paper (github.com/ease-lab/vhive/bl…) and join the vHive open-source community (github.com/ease-lab/vhive) now!
Stay tuned for the upcoming end-to-end serverless benchmarking platform release! We integrate leading industrial components, incl. AWS Firecracker, CNCF's Containerd and Kubernetes/KNative, to facilitate academic innovation across the whole serverless stack.

Two @ease_lab papers accepted to @ASPLOSConf! Small software changes in Linux kernel and Firecracker, big impact! Cheers @artmargaritov @DmitriiUstiugov @ThePlamenPetrov
Our latest work shows how RDMA network predictability can be turned into a high-rate covert communication channel. For details, check out Bankrupt at #WOOT20, co-located with @USENIXSecurity 2020 @DmitriiUstiugov @mrkatebzadeh @ease_lab ease-lab.github.io/ease_webs…
