OUTLINE
The TOPPERS project (i) builds systems services at user level in order to improve the isolation and efficiency of containerized applications, (ii) leverages resource utilization metrics to increase the memory elasticity of applications, (iii) develops techniques to improve the security isolation of co-hosted applications, (iv) investigates methods to improve the efficiency of checkpointing in big data applications.
