Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) has revolutionized CPU-based on-demand resource allocation, offering scalable and efficient computing solutions. However, extending FaaS paradigms to GPU-based inference platforms presents significant challenges.

Challenges

The 2 major challenges are as below.

  • Cold Start Latency: The time required to initialize GPU resources and load models can lead to unacceptable delays in processing inference requests. Learn more

  • Resource and Security Isolation: Ensuring that multiple tenants can securely and efficiently share GPU resources without interference is complex. Learn more

Addressing these challenges is crucial for the evolution of GPU-based serverless inference platforms, enabling them to deliver on-demand, scalable, and cost-effective AI services.

Current Landscape and Limitations

Many serverless inference platforms claim to offer GPU-based solutions. However, due to the challenges mentioned, many resort to pre-provisioning GPU resources to ensure low-latency responses, leading to suboptimal resource utilization and increased costs. Learn more
