Capsule: Efficient Player Isolation for Datacenters
Cloud gaming is increasingly popular. A challenge for cloud provider is to keep datacenter utilization high: a non-trivial task due to application variety. These applications come in different shapes and sizes. So do cloud datacenter resources, e.g., CPUs, GPUs, NPUs. Part of the challenge stems from game engines being predominantly designed to run only one player. One player in a lightweight game might utilize only a fraction of the cloud server GPU. The remaining GPU capacity will be left u…

Topology-Aware Virtualization over Inter-Core Connected Neural Processing Units
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications, an emerging class of AI accelerators, termed Inter-core Connected Neural Processing Units (NPU), has been adopted in both cloud and edge computing environments, like Graphcore IPU, Tenstorrent, etc. Despite their innovative design, these NPUs often demand substantial hardware resources, leading to suboptimal resource utilization due to the imbalance of hardware requirements across various tasks. To address this issue, prio…
