  1. Serverless computing allows customers to submit their jobs to the cloud for execution, with the resource provisioning being taken care of by the cloud provider. Serverless functions are often short-lived and have modest resource requirements, thereby presenting an opportunity to improve server utilization by colocating with latency-sensitive customer workloads. This paper presents ServerMore, a server-level resource manager that opportunistically colocates customer serverless jobs with serverful customer VMs. ServerMore dynamically regulates the CPU, memory bandwidth, and LLC resources on the server to ensure that the colocation between serverful and serverless workloads does not impact application tail latencies. By selectively admitting serverless functions and inferring the performance of black-box serverful workloads, ServerMore improves resource utilization on average by 35.9% to 245% compared to prior works; while having a minimal impact on the latency of both serverful applications and serverless functions.

    This paper studies the online energy scheduling problem in a hy- brid model where the cost of energy is proportional to both the volume and peak usage, and where energy can be either locally generated or drawn from the grid. Inspired by recent advances in online algorithms with Machine Learned (ML) advice, we develop parameterized deterministic and randomized algorithms for this problem such that the level of reliance on the advice can be adjusted by a trust parameter. We then analyze the performance of the pro- posed algorithms using two performance metrics: robustness that measures the competitive ratio as a function of the trust parameter when the advice is inaccurate, and consistency for competitive ratio when the advice is accurate. Since the competitive ratio is analyzed in two different regimes, we further investigate the Pareto optimal- ity of the proposed algorithms. Our results show that the proposed deterministic algorithm is Pareto-optimal, in the sense that no other online deterministic algorithms can dominate the robustness and consistency of our algorithm. Furthermore, we show that the proposed randomized algorithm dominates the Pareto-optimal de- terministic algorithm. Our large-scale empirical evaluations using real traces of energy demand, energy prices, and renewable energy generations highlight that the proposed algorithms outperform worst-case optimized algorithms and fully data-driven algorithms.
