As IoT networks become more complex and generate massive amounts of dynamic data, it is difficult to monitor and detect anomalies using traditional statistical methods and machine learning methods. Deep learning algorithms can process and learn from large amounts of data and can also be trained using unsupervised learning techniques, meaning they don't require labelled data to detect anomalies. This makes it possible to detect new and unknown anomalies that may not have been detected before. Also, deep learning algorithms can be automated and highly scalable; thereby, they can run continuously in the backend and make it achievable to monitor large IoT networks instantly. In this work, we conduct a literature review on the most recent works using deep learning techniques and implement a model using ensemble techniques on the KDD Cup 99 dataset. The experimental results showcase the impressive performance of our deep anomaly detection model, achieving an accuracy of over 98\%.

The surging demand for GPUs in datacenters for machine learning (ML) has made efficient GPU utilization crucial. However, meeting the diverse needs of ML models while optimizing resource usage is challenging. To enable transparent, fine-grained GPU management that maximizes utilization and energy efficiency while maintaining strong isolation, an operating system (OS) approach is needed. This paper introduces LithOS, a first step toward a GPU OS. LithOS includes the following new abstractions and mechanisms for efficient GPU resource management: (i) a novel TPC Scheduler that supports spatial scheduling at the granularity of individual TPCs, unlocking efficient TPC stealing between workloads; (ii) transparent kernel atomization to reduce head-of-line blocking and enable dynamic resource reallocation mid-execution; (iii) a lightweight hardware right-sizing mechanism that determines the minimal TPC resources needed per atom; and (iv) a transparent power management mechanism that reduces power consumption based on in-flight work behavior. We implement LithOS in Rust and evaluate its performance across extensive ML environments, comparing it to state-of-the-art solutions from NVIDIA and prior research. For inference stacking, LithOS reduces tail latencies by 13x compared to MPS; compared to the best SotA, it reduces tail latencies by 3x while improving aggregate throughput by 1.6x. In hybrid inference-training stacking, LithOS reduces tail latencies by 4.7x compared to MPS; compared to the best SotA, it reduces tail latencies 1.18x while improving aggregate throughput by 1.35x. Finally, for a modest performance hit under 4%, LithOS's right-sizing provides a quarter of GPU capacity savings on average, while for a 7% hit, its power management yields a quarter of a GPU's energy savings. Overall, LithOS increases GPU efficiency, establishing a foundation for future OS research on GPUs.
