Flux: Unifying Heterogeneous Infrastructure for Alibaba AnalyticDB
Summary: Flux provides a unified cluster manager for heterogeneous accelerators (FPGAs/GPUs) in Alibaba AnalyticDB. An acceleration-priority score guides a priority-based workload manager and unified scheduler to optimize performance and TCO, achieving 4.39x speedup, 21.9% user TCO reduction, and 47% provider TCO reduction.
