Trimaran: Load-Aware Scheduling for Power Efficiency and Performance Stability
If you're experiencing a cluster where some nodes are stubbornly congested and others are not, or some nodes are spiky in their utilization, or some pods are able to burst freely yet others are not, then you may need to use a Trimaran scheduler. In this talk, we will provide an overview of the Trimaran scheduler plugins and demonstrate their utility. Basically, Trimaran plugins are load-aware schedulers which place pods on nodes based on actual measured node resource utilization, while considering requests and limits specifications of resources. Having utilization as an objective helps (1) minimize power consumption by targeting an optimal range of utilization, (2) avoid congestion and interference among multiple containers running on the same node, and (3) lower the risk of over-commitment when containers burst their usage to the specified limits.
Cloud Native Sustainable LLM Inference in Action
Join our tutorial on sustainable Large Language Models (LLM) inference using cloud-native tech. We'll cover LLMs, energy use, and Kepler's role in monitoring power during LLM workloads. Learn about balancing environmental sustainability and tech efficiency, using AI accelerator frequency adjustments in Cloud Native tech for optimized LLM inference. This ensures power efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Experience a live demo of vLLM, an advanced inference framework, in action. See how we tweak AI accelerator settings in a Kubernetes cluster for ideal power-computation balance.
This tutorial is a must-attend for professionals keen on integrating environmental sustainability with cloud-native technology solutions. Whether you're a developer, an IT specialist, or a sustainability advocate, you'll gain valuable insights into the future of eco-friendly cloud computing. Join us to be at the forefront of this significant technological evolution.
