Abstract: Embodiments of systems, apparatuses and methods provide enhanced function as a service (FaaS) to users, e.g., computer developers and cloud service providers (CSPs). A computing system configured to provide such enhanced FaaS service include one or more controls architectural subsystems, software and orchestration subsystems, network and storage subsystems, and security subsystems. The computing system executes functions in response to events triggered by the users in an execution environment provided by the architectural subsystems, which represent an abstraction of execution management and shield the users from the burden of managing the execution. The software and orchestration subsystems allocate computing resources for the function execution by intelligently spinning up and down containers for function code with decreased instantiation latency and increased execution scalability while maintaining secured execution.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that creates one or more capabilities of a software container prior to issuance of a request to create the container, wherein the one or more capabilities are associated with a computational overhead that exceeds a first threshold and a memory overhead that does not exceed a second threshold, intercepts the request to create the software container after creation of the one or more capabilities, and associates the one or more capabilities with the software container.

Abstract: A processor including a processing core to execute an instruction prior to executing a memory allocation call; one or more last branch record (LBR) registers to store one or more recently retired branch instructions; a performance monitoring unit (PMU) comprising a logic circuit to: retrieve the one or more recently retired branch instructions from the one or more LBR registers; identify, based on the retired branch instructions, a signature of the memory allocation call; provide the signature to software to determine a memory tier to allocate memory for the memory allocation call.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to optimize dynamic memory assignments in multi-tiered memory systems are disclosed. An example computer readable storage medium comprises instructions to, during an offline profiling run of a computer application: responsive to a first malloc function call, perform a first backtrace to identify a first path preceding the first malloc function call and identify a size of a buffer in memory allocated to the first path; and determine an indicator corresponding to a temperature of the buffer allocated to the first path; and during runtime: responsive to a second malloc function call, perform a second backtrace to identify a second path preceding the second malloc function call; and responsive to the second path corresponding to the first path, allocate memory from a tier of memory based on the indicator.

Abstract: Embodiments may be directed to techniques to execute a binary based on source code comprising basic blocks of instructions, identify a path of execution of a plurality of the basic blocks of instructions having a higher execution frequency than an execution frequency threshold, and collect last branch records for the plurality of the basic blocks of instructions, the last branch records to indicate times of execution for the plurality of the basic blocks of instructions. Further, embodiments include determining latency values for each of the plurality of the basic blocks of instructions based on the times of execution, and performing a mitigation operation for each of the plurality of the basic blocks of instruction having latency values above a latency threshold.
