This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program provides $299,788 to Sri International for research and development activities from January 2023 through December 2025. The award aims to accelerate serverless cloud network performance through a cross-layered approach optimizing function chain communication in serverless cloud environments. Sri International will develop a new QUIC-based network substrate to simultaneously improve performance and security without tenant code modification. They will also utilize data-plane programming and request prediction to optimize resource allocation and mitigate cold-start issues in multi-tenant serverless clouds. The results of this research are intended to empower applications with stringent latency and security requirements across popular cloud platforms. Sri International plans to release implementations and evaluation environments through the NSF Fabric testbed and explore transitioning the work to commercial cloud services and open-source communities.
