Memory Disaggregation in Serverless Computing
DescriptionIn recent years, the slowing of advancements in memory technology and applications’ increasing demand for memory have resulted in high performance computation becoming bottlenecked by availability of memory. One existing solution, far memory, involves swapping pages to a remote machine rather than a local disk. Function-as-a-service (FaaS) platforms have also become more prevalent, allowing the remote execution of workloads. We first explore the viability of integrating one FaaS tool, Globus Compute, with a remote swap system for far memory, FastSwap. Then, we investigate the performance of the combined system on various workloads to determine which ones can incorporate remote memory without excessive overhead cost. We find that for certain workloads, including breadth-first search and minimum spanning tree, it is possible to use up to 30% remote memory without significant slowdowns. In the poster session, we will present our approach, findings, limitations, and potential generalizations.
