2nd Workshop on High Performance Serverless Computing ================================================
Serverless computing represents the next significant leap forward with respect to abstracting commoditized computing resources. The main principle of serverless computing is that compute providers deploy and manage the entire compute environment—from hardware through to runtime in which an application executes; users, therefore, think entirely at the level of their application without regard for the underlying computing environment. For example, the function as a service (FaaS) model allows users to first register a programming function (e.g., in Python) and then they may invoke that function many times with different input arguments.
Serverless computing is poised to become not only the face of cloud computing in the commercial world but also a model for remote and distributed computing more broadly. The second workshop on High Performance Serverless Computing will provide the high performance and distributed computing community with a dedicated forum for discussing foundational research in serverless computing in both industry and academia. The workshop will bring together these communities and provide a forum for innovation in both the high performance and distributed systems that underlie serverless computing platforms and also the use of serverless models for abstracting traditional high performance and distributed computing systems.
