### From Bottleneck to Breakthrough: Optimizing Scheduling for Hyperscale Containerized Clusters
*Bing Li, Yuquan Ren, Xinyi Song, Zhilei Liu *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Documents production-scale scheduling improvements at a hyperscale cloud provider, demonstrating how targeted optimizations reduce scheduling tail latency and increase cluster utilization in real containerized workloads.
---
### CPU-Limits kill Performance: Time to rethink Resource Control
*Chirag C. Shetty, Sarthak Chakraborty, Hubertus Franke, Larisa Shwartz *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Challenges the conventional use of CPU cgroup limits in cloud environments, showing through production evidence that CFS bandwidth throttling degrades application QoS and proposing a rethink of resource control abstractions.
---
### Rethinking Tiered Memory Management in Cloud Data Centers
*Tong Xing 0002, Jiaxun Yang, Javier Picorel, Antonio Barbalace*
**TL;DR** — Proposes a novel tiered memory management framework for cloud data centers that improves performance by rethinking the placement and migration policies across DRAM and CXL/NVM tiers.
---
### Cost-Efficient Cloud Infrastructure with Hugepage-aware Memory Deduplication
*Ruizhe Huang, Xinyu Wang 0043, Zhida An, Hanwen Lei *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Deploys hugepage-aware memory deduplication in a large production cloud, achieving significant memory savings without the performance regressions that plague conventional THP-based deduplication.
---
### ALAP: Intent-Based Serverless Computing via Delayed Decision-Making
*Prasoon Sinha, Kostis Kaffes, Neeraja J. Yadwadkar*
**TL;DR** — Introduces an intent-based programming model for serverless that defers scheduling decisions until runtime context is available, improving resource efficiency and SLO attainment over eager placement strategies.
---
### Hydra: Virtualized Multi-Language Runtime for High-Density Serverless Platforms
*Serhii Ivanenko, Vasyl Lanko, Rudi Horn, Vojin Jovanovic *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Presents a virtualized runtime that multiplexes multiple language environments within a single sandbox, enabling higher function density and faster cold starts on serverless platforms.
---
### Serverless Elasticsearch: the Architecture Transformation from Stateful to Stateless
*Iraklis Psaroudakis, Pooya Salehi, Jason Bryan, Francisco Fernández Castaño *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Describes Elastic's production migration of Elasticsearch to a serverless, stateless architecture, sharing engineering lessons on decoupling compute from state at cloud scale.
---
### DFUSE: Strongly Consistent Write-Back Kernel Caching for Distributed Userspace File Systems
*Haoyu Li, Jingkai Fu, Qing Li 0002, Windsor Hsu *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Closes a long-standing gap in FUSE-based distributed file systems by enabling strongly consistent write-back caching in the kernel, significantly improving throughput without sacrificing correctness.
---
### Accelerating Distributed Filesystem Metadata Service via Decoupling Directory Semantics from Metadata Indexing
*Wenhao Lv, Hao Guo, Qing Wang 0031, Youyou Lu *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Achieves scalable distributed filesystem metadata by separating directory namespace semantics from the underlying index structure, reducing contention and improving throughput for large-scale cloud storage.
---
### Valet: Efficient Data Placement on Modern SSDs
*Devashish R. Purandare, Peter Alvaro, Avani Wildani, Darrell D. E. Long *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Exploits fine-grained internal SSD geometry to make smarter data placement decisions, yielding measurable I/O performance gains without changes to the host storage stack.
---
### Understanding Diffusion Model Serving in Production: A Top-Down Analysis of Workload, Scheduling, and Resource Efficiency
*Yanying Lin, Shuaipeng Wu, Shutian Luo, Hong Xu 0001 *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Provides the first comprehensive production characterization of diffusion model inference workloads, revealing unique scheduling and resource efficiency challenges distinct from LLM serving.
---
### ModServe: Modality- and Stage-Aware Resource Disaggregation for Scalable Multimodal Model Serving
*Haoran Qiu, Anish Biswas, Zihan Zhao, Jayashree Mohan *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Disaggregates compute resources per modality and pipeline stage for multimodal inference, with a Microsoft production deployment showing improved GPU utilization and latency over monolithic serving.
---
### THORN-ML: Transparent Hardware Offloaded Resilient Networks for RDMA based Distributed ML Workloads
*Maziyar Nazari, Daniel Noland, Giulio Sidoretti, Erika Hunhoff *et al.**
**TL;DR** — Offloads RDMA fault detection and recovery to programmable network hardware, making distributed ML training resilient to network failures without modifying the training framework or incurring software overhead.
