Abstract:
Serverless computing has gained significant traction in the past few years. Removing most of the provisioning burden from the shoulders of developers, offering a pay-per-use pricing model, and accelerating deployment of scalable applications are some of serverless's unique attractions. These operational benefits come with efficiency costs, making serverless up to 15x more energy-hungry than native execution. In this talk, the speaker will explore the architectural trade-offs in serverless platforms and share insights from their six-year research journey on enhancing the efficiency and sustainability of serverless computing systems.

Mohammad Shahrad of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver
Topic:
The Rise of Serverless Cloud Computing and A Journey to Enhance Its Efficiency and Sustainability
Biography:
Mohammad Shahrad is an Assistant Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, where he leads the Cloud Infrastructure Research for Reliability, Usability, and Sustainability (CIRRUS) lab. He is broadly interested in improving the efficiency and sustainability of cloud computing systems. His work spans the computing stack, from developing complex distributed software systems and cluster-level schedulers to designing new hardware for cloud workloads. Mohammad's research has been deployed in production, won the USENIX Community Award, and been featured in the press. Before joining UBC, Mohammad was a Computer Science Lecturer at Princeton University. He holds a Ph.D. from Princeton University and spent a year at Microsoft Research working on cloud efficiency projects.
