With high scalability and flexibility, serverless computing is becoming a promising computing model. However, as pointed out in a new study by TSYS School computer scientist Yi Zhou, existing serverless computing platforms initiate a container for each function invocation, which leads to a huge waste of computing resources. Examinations by Zhou and colleagues from Jinan University and Auburn University reveal that executing invocations concurrently within a single container can provide comparable performance to that provided by multiple containers (i.e., traditional approaches) while reducing memory resource waste and longer execution times. The researchers propose such a framework, FaaSBatch, that batches invocations and minimizes resource utilization by mapping groups of batched invocations into a single container. According to Zhou, "We evaluated the effectiveness and performance of FaaSBatch by comparing it to three state-of-the-art schedulers. Our experimental results show that FaaSBatch effectively and remarkably slashes invocation latency and resource overhead." In fact, as Zhou and his team discuss in the study, which is set to appear in a future issue of IEEE Transactions on Computers, FaaSBatch reduces the resource overhead of traditional approaches by anywhere from 43% to 98%, depending upon the particular comparison.
The Turner College's new marketing intern Lizzy Grant , a senior marketing major from Newnan who previously attended Gordon State College, where she played varsity soccer, and is scheduled to graduate from the Turner College in May of 2024, has hit the ground running in her new position. She recently played a large role in the creation of a video tour of the Synovus Center, the main campus home of the Turner College. The video helps to guide new students on where to go in the building and who they can talk to if they help. The video showcases the Student Services Center, the main lobby, and more. The video is played as part of a loop on video screens placed throughout the Synovus Center. Lizzy's list of activities at CSU is impressive. She is the Treasurer of the Turner College's Marketing Club, the President of Marketing for the Turner College's chapter of the Financial Management Association, and an Ambassador for the Turner College. She is also the Treasurer of her s
