HeROfake: Heterogeneous Resources Orchestration in a Serverless Cloud – An Application to Deepfake Detection
Résumé
Serverless is a trending service model for cloud computing. It shifts a lot of the complexity from customers to service providers. However, current serverless platforms mostly consider the provider's infrastructure as homogeneous, as well as the users' requests. This limits possibilities for the provider to leverage heterogeneity in their infrastructure to improve function response time and reduce energy consumption. We propose a heterogeneity-aware serverless orchestrator for private clouds that consists of two components: the autoscaler allocates heterogeneous hardware resources (CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs) for function replicas, while the scheduler maps function executions to these replicas. Our objective is to guarantee function response time, while enabling the provider to reduce resource usage and energy consumption. This work considers a case study for a deepfake detection application relying on CNN inference. We devised a simulation environment that implements our model and a baseline Knative orchestrator, and evaluated both policies with regard to consolidation of tasks, energy consumption and SLA penalties. Experimental results show that our platform yields substantial gains for all those metrics, with an average of 35% less energy consumed for function executions while consolidating tasks on less than 40% of the infrastructure's nodes, and more than 60% less SLA violations.
