Title

Accelerating Analytics at the Edge

Abstract

The continued growth of demand for data and for ever-faster insights from data, is creating a trend toward deploying infrastructure outside of datacenters and machine rooms, and closer to end users and devices where data is generated and consumed. This edge computing tier promises to create transformative opportunities in achieving efficiency, performance, and scaling for the many new classes of data-driven workloads. However, such benefits cannot be realized by naively transplanting cloud-native technologies at the edge. In this talk, I will describe my group’s research on new systems software, machine learning and acceleration frameworks, and how they advance our capabilities for data analytics at the edge.

Bio

Ada Gavrilovska is Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science at Georgia Tech. Her research is focused on designing systems for emerging technologies, and she develops new systems software solutions in response to new hardware, applications, and use cases. Her past research has considered opportunities and challenges resulting from programmable network processors, high-performance interconnects, multicores, virtualization and cloud computing. Her recent work is driven by two major trends rooted in the exponential growth of data-intensive workloads – the proliferation of new memory system designs, and the shift to edge computing. Gavrilovska’s research is supported by the NSF, the US Department of Energy, the SRC/DARPA JUMP program, and by multiple industry awards. She recently served as a Program Co-Chair for USENIX ATC’20 and as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing.
