Embodiments of systems, apparatuses and methods provide enhanced function as a service (FaaS) to users, e.g., computer developers and cloud service providers (CSPs). A computing system configured to provide such enhanced FaaS service include one or more controls architectural subsystems, software and orchestration subsystems, network and storage subsystems, and security subsystems. The computing system executes functions in response to events triggered by the users in an execution environment provided by the architectural subsystems, which represent an abstraction of execution management and shield the users from the burden of managing the execution. The software and orchestration subsystems allocate computing resources for the function execution by intelligently spinning up and down containers for function code with decreased instantiation latency and increased execution scalability while maintaining secured execution. Furthermore, the computing system enables customers to pay only when their code gets executed with a granular billing down to millisecond increments.

Function as a service (FaaS) system enhancements

A computing system includes a memory controller having a plurality of bypass parameters set by a software program, a thresholds matrix to store threshold values selectable by the plurality of bypass parameters, and a bypass function to determine whether a first cache line is to be displaced with a second cache line in a first memory or the first cache line remains in the first memory and the second cache line is to be accessed by at least one of a processor core and the cache from a second memory.

Method of managing multi-tier memory displacement using software controlled thresholds

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to optimize dynamic memory assignments in multi-tiered memory systems are disclosed. An example computer readable storage medium comprises instructions to, during an offline profiling run of a computer application: responsive to a first malloc function call, perform a first backtrace to identify a first path preceding the first malloc function call and identify a size of a buffer in memory allocated to the first path; and determine an indicator corresponding to a temperature of the buffer allocated to the first path; and during runtime: responsive to a second malloc function call, perform a second backtrace to identify a second path preceding the second malloc function call; and responsive to the second path corresponding to the first path, allocate memory from a tier of memory based on the indicator.
