Now that things have settled, I can share more. This system (Caribou) pushes the boundaries of geospatial shifting for cloud systems for greenhouse gas reduction. 💚🌎
Paper available here: cirrus.ece.ubc.ca/papers/sos…
And the system is open sourced: github.com/ubc-cirrus-lab/ca…

With @GhazalSadeghian at her graduation ceremony. Ghazal, my first master's student, wrote her thesis on a task offloading system (UnFaaSener) that migrates serverless functions to non-serverless hosts.
Ghazal is job hunting. You should reach out to her: ca.linkedin.com/in/ghazal-sa…
Congrats to Changyuan Lin for being awarded the prestigious Canada Graduate Scholarships - Doctoral (CGS D) scholarship. 🇨🇦🎉
His proposal aims to address key challenges related to performance, cost, and observability in serverless computing.
Big shoutout to Parshan, our talented undergrad researcher, who presented his work on optimizing UnFaaSener's solver at UBC's Design & Innovation Day. He boosted solver's efficiency 5-10x using @JuliaLanguage ! His work has been integrated into our repo: github.com/ubc-cirrus-lab/un…
Join the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering on April 11th, 2024, in the Fred Kaiser Building to attend Design and Innovation Day! For more information, visit ece.ubc.ca/undergraduates/ca…

Our end of year party at @UBC_CIRRUS_Lab had more than food and games this year. Viktor Gsteiger organized a fun Secret Santa gift exchange.
Loved the hilarious gift @amoghimi98 got me!
We are delighted to welcome Viktor Gsteiger from ETH Zürich as a visiting research student. Over the next six months, he will be conducting his thesis research with us.
Viktor and @MShahrad received the @MitacsCanada Globalink Research Award (GRA) for this project.

Parrotfish was presented at #socc23 today.
It autoconfigures serverless functions for cost/performance optimality. And it achieves it ~2-10x cheaper than current tools. Optimizing #serverless functions shouldn't burden developers.

Our CIRRUS Lab family just grew by three brilliant graduate students this week!

Say you're a dev team using #serverless alongside other cloud infrastructure (e.g., VMs). Wouldn't it be cool if you could seamlessly tap into the unused capacity of that infrastructure to run your serverless functions?
That's exactly what UnFaaSener does. (#atc2023)

Five talented undergraduate students have joined our lab this summer to conduct cutting-edge research on cloud-related projects. We can't wait to see the innovative ideas they'll bring to the table!
UBC CIRRUS Lab retweeted
Really happy for @GhazalSadeghian and @sam_ginzburg for their accepted @usenix ATC papers! 😊🎉 They worked very hard to lead building two really cool computer systems. Stay tuned for more details in the coming weeks.
We have an opening in our lab for the UBC Vancouver Work Learn International Undergraduate Research Awards (WLIURA) program this summer.
Apply online on UBC CareersOnline between March 13 to March 26, 2023.

Last year, we couldn't finish the sushi boat. So this year, we recruited some more lab members and succeeded. Hoping that we'll need to order more boats next year!
