内容:

Scaling application's performance while improving system resource efficiencies has become an increasingly important agenda for both cloud providers and users. With the rise of emerging interactive applications such as LLM and microservices, users must build applications that satisfy microsecond scale tail latency service level objectives; and with emphasis on sustainability, cloud providers aim to improve user experience while reducing their resource footprints. 

In this talk, I will discuss the design of a general-purpose, efficient and adaptive frameworks for efficient resource allocation and scheduling. First, I will introduce LibPreemptible, a fast, scalable and hardware-assisted user-space scheduling library that is designed for microsecond-scale workloads. Second, I will introduce FastAgent, a LLM-powered Agent System that enables memory-aware request scheduling. Finally, I will present PolicyShedder, a data driven offline RL framework for efficient, safe and rate limiter for reliable distributed system.
