In PINet lab, we design sustainable AI systems to address the energy challenges of inference in cloud data centers and edge environments. By combining system-level optimizations, such as dynamic resource management, with model-level strategies like parameter tuning and workload adaptation, we create innovative solutions that balance energy efficiency, performance, and scalability. Our work aims to enable the next generation of AI technologies that are both environmentally sustainable and impactful across diverse applications.
Stream processing is becoming mainstream. It is present in thousands of companies around the globe and used in a variety of applications including real-time monitoring, data analytics, car-trip pricing, credit card fraud detection, and many others. Despite the great success of the stream processing paradigm, testing a networked stream processing application (particularly at scale) is still a cumbersome and often expensive process. Existing approaches typically include building an expensive testbed, applying for a slot on a community one (e.g., GENI, CloudLab) or hiring a cloud-based set-up. On top of that, developers still need to spend significant amounts of time configuring and managing their platforms, e.g., by connecting cluster nodes and ingesting data. In this project, we aim at lowering the wall (from both time and money perspective) for stakeholders to participate in the stream processing ecosystem. For that, we are building a simple and easy-to-use prototyping tool for distributed stream processing applications. It is a whole stream processing setup in a single server and in a matter of minutes. We envision this work can also help paving the way for more reproducible research in the stream processing domain, a basic need for the research community.
