Hardware accelerated applications on Unikernels for Serverless Computing

" summary

Describes a serverless framework that uses unikernels (two popular unikernel frameworks) to run functions on cloud and edge while enabling access to hardware accelerators. Covers the framework components, the unikernel-based function execution layer, and a hardware-acceleration abstraction exposing accelerator capabilities to workloads, plus a short demo and discussion of implementation challenges and trade-offs.
