Software results

Title Description Repository
Lithops An open source framework for big data analytics and embarrassingly parallel jobs, that provides an universal API for building parallel applications in the cloud.
Crucial A system to program highly-concurrent stateful applications on serverless architectures. It keeps a simple programming model and allows to port effortlessly multi-threaded algorithms to FaaS.
Faasm A high-performance stateful serverless runtime that provides multi-tenant isolation, yet allows functions to share regions of memory.
Triggerflow An scalable, extensible and serverless platform for event-based orchestration of serverless workflows.
Faabric Messaging and state layer for distributed serverless applications.
CloudButton Toolkit examples Notebook examples for the CloudButton Toolkit: Moments in time, Mandelbrot set computation, Pi estimation using the Monte Carlo method.
Serverless shell Shell scripting for serverless.
Primula Primula is a serverless shuffle operator for general-purpose serverless frameworks.
CloudButton Apache Airflow plugin Apache Airflow Plugin that implements new operators to easily deploy serverless functions tasks on IBM Cloud Functions.
Serverless Elastic Exploration of Unbalanced Algorithms Implementation of unbalanced algorithms like the Unbalanced Tree Search benchmark over serverless functions.
Serverless port of SMILE Port of a subset of SMILE machine learning library to Crucial.
Infinispan Openshift operator An OpenShift operator to run and rule Infinispan.
Python Client for Infinispan A Python protoclient for connecting to an Infinispan server via Hotrod.
MLLess Serverless ML training on IBM Cloud Functions.
Faasm integration with Lithops Benchmarks for Lithops.
CloudButton-SLA SLA system, inspired by the WS-Agreement standard, that uses Knative Observability Plugin monitoring data to supervise Knative running pods in order to identify candidate performance improvements and/or problems.
S3Contents An S3 and GCS backed ContentsManager implementation for Jupyter.
Metabolomics use case - Experiment 1 Demonstrates running through the whole Serverless metabolite annotation pipeline with a typical dataset, downloading the results and comparing them against the Serverful implementation of METASPACE.
Metabolomics use case - Experiment 2 An example of running the pipeline against a smaller set of molecules, to demonstrate the potential of Serverless to provide low-latency access to computing resources.
Metabolomics use case - Experiment 3 A stress test that runs the Serverless metabolite annotation pipeline with a large dataset and many molecular databases.
