OpenG2G: A Simulation Platform for AI Datacenter-Grid Runtime Coordination

AI's growing compute demand and new datacenter buildouts present major capacity and reliability challenges for the electricity grid, leading to multi-year interconnection delays for new datacenters and bottlenecking AI growth. To ease this strain, datacenters increasingly offer rapid power flexibility in response to grid signals, where the datacenter can increase or decrease its power consumption by adapting its workload in real time. In order to understand the impact of large datacenters on the grid and to facilitate the design of effective coordination strategies, we build OpenG2G, a simulation platform for AI datacenter-grid runtime coordination. We show that OpenG2G is capable of answering a wide range of coordination questions by allowing users to implement and compare various control paradigms (including classic, optimization, and learning-based controllers), and quantify how AI model and deployment choices affect datacenter flexibility and coordination outcomes. This versatility is enabled by OpenG2G's modular and extensible architecture: a datacenter backend driven by real measurements of production-grade AI services, a grid backend built on high-fidelity grid simulators, and a generic controller interface that closes the loop between them. We describe the design of OpenG2G and demonstrate its usefulness through realistic grid scenarios and AI workloads.

TetriServe: Efficient DiT Serving for Heterogeneous Image Generation

Diffusion Transformer (DiT) models excel at generating high-quality images through iterative denoising steps, but serving them under strict Service Level Objectives (SLOs) is challenging due to their high computational cost, particularly at large resolutions. Existing serving systems use fixed degree sequence parallelism, which is inefficient for heterogeneous workloads with mixed resolutions and deadlines, leading to poor GPU utilization and low SLO attainment. In this paper, we propose step-level sequence parallelism to dynamically adjust the degree of parallelism of individual requests according to their deadlines. We present TetriServe, a DiT serving system that implements this strategy for highly efficient image generation. Specifically, TetriServe introduces a novel round-based scheduling mechanism that improves SLO attainment: (1) discretizing time into fixed rounds to make deadline-aware scheduling tractable, (2) adapting parallelism at the step level and minimize GPU hour consumption, and (3) jointly packing requests to minimize late completions. Extensive evaluation on state-of-the-art DiT models shows that TetriServe achieves up to 32% higher SLO attainment compared to existing solutions without degrading image quality.

Elastic Model Aggregation with Parameter Service

Model aggregation, the process that updates model parameters, is an important step for model convergence in distributed deep learning (DDL). However, the parameter server (PS), a popular paradigm of performing model aggregation, causes CPU underutilization in deep learning (DL) clusters, due to the bursty nature of aggregation and static resource allocation. To remedy this problem, we propose Parameter Service, an elastic model aggregation framework for DDL training, which decouples the function of model aggregation from individual training jobs and provides a shared model aggregation service to all jobs in the cluster. In Parameter Service, model aggregations are efficiently packed and dynamically migrated to fit into the available CPUs with negligible time overhead. Furthermore, Parameter Service can elastically manage its CPU resources based on its load to enhance resource efficiency. We have implemented Parameter Service in a prototype system called AutoPS and evaluated it via testbed experimentation and trace-driven simulations. AutoPS reduces up to 75% of CPU consumption with little or no performance impact on the training jobs. The design of Parameter Service is transparent to the users and can be incorporated in popular DL frameworks.

FedScale: Benchmarking Model and System Performance of Federated Learning at Scale

We present FedScale, a federated learning (FL) benchmarking suite with realistic datasets and a scalable runtime to enable reproducible FL research. FedScale datasets encompass a wide range of critical FL tasks, ranging from image classification and object detection to language modeling and speech recognition. Each dataset comes with a unified evaluation protocol using real-world data splits and evaluation metrics. To reproduce realistic FL behavior, FedScale contains a scalable and extensible runtime. It provides high-level APIs to implement FL algorithms, deploy them at scale across diverse hardware and software backends, and evaluate them at scale, all with minimal developer efforts. We combine the two to perform systematic benchmarking experiments and highlight potential opportunities for heterogeneity-aware co-optimizations in FL. FedScale is open-source and actively maintained by contributors from different institutions at http://fedscale.ai. We welcome feedback and contributions from the community.

Orloj: Predictably Serving Unpredictable DNNs

Existing DNN serving solutions can provide tight latency SLOs while maintaining high throughput via careful scheduling of incoming requests, whose execution times are assumed to be highly predictable and data-independent. However, inference requests to emerging dynamic DNNs -- e.g., popular natural language processing (NLP) models and computer vision (CV) models that skip layers -- are data-dependent. They exhibit poor performance when served using existing solutions because they experience large variance in request execution times depending on the input -- the longest request in a batch inflates the execution times of the smaller ones, causing SLO misses in the absence of careful batching. In this paper, we present Orloj, a dynamic DNN serving system, that captures this variance in dynamic DNNs using empirical distributions of expected request execution times, and then efficiently batches and schedules them without knowing a request's precise execution time. Orloj significantly outperforms state-of-the-art serving solutions for high variance dynamic DNN workloads by 51--80% in finish rate under tight SLO constraints, and over 100% under more relaxed SLO settings. For well-studied static DNN workloads, Orloj keeps comparable performance with the state-of-the-art.

Swan: A Neural Engine for Efficient DNN Training on Smartphone SoCs

The need to train DNN models on end-user devices (e.g., smartphones) is increasing with the need to improve data privacy and reduce communication overheads. Unlike datacenter servers with powerful CPUs and GPUs, modern smartphones consist of a diverse collection of specialized cores following a system-on-a-chip (SoC) architecture that together perform a variety of tasks. We observe that training DNNs on a smartphone SoC without carefully considering its resource constraints can not only lead to suboptimal training performance but significantly affect user experience as well. In this paper, we present Swan, a neural engine to optimize DNN training on smartphone SoCs without hurting user experience. Extensive large-scale evaluations show that Swan can improve performance by 1.2 - 23.3x over the state-of-the-art.

Treehouse: A Case For Carbon-Aware Datacenter Software

The end of Dennard scaling and the slowing of Moore's Law has put the energy use of datacenters on an unsustainable path. Datacenters are already a significant fraction of worldwide electricity use, with application demand scaling at a rapid rate. We argue that substantial reductions in the carbon intensity of datacenter computing are possible with a software-centric approach: by making energy and carbon visible to application developers on a fine-grained basis, by modifying system APIs to make it possible to make informed trade offs between performance and carbon emissions, and by raising the level of application programming to allow for flexible use of more energy efficient means of compute and storage. We also lay out a research agenda for systems software to reduce the carbon footprint of datacenter computing.
