Learn about a novel serverless computing application in this 16-minute conference presentation that explores running 3D printer controllers in the cloud. Discover how researchers from USC and University of Michigan address the unique challenges of executing time-sensitive 3D printing control algorithms on serverless platforms like AWS Lambda. Examine the millisecond-level overheads that affect timely execution and understand the innovative solutions developed to overcome these limitations. Explore the strategic partitioning of control algorithms across multiple serverless functions and the implementation of timely speculation techniques. Analyze performance evaluation results demonstrating 2.8x-3.5x cost reductions compared to alternative approaches while maintaining strict timing requirements across 30 diverse print jobs. Gain insights into how this research opens new possibilities for cloud-assisted manufacturing and the broader implications for latency-critical serverless applications.
