DESCRIPTION:Overarching computational demand and the well-known end of Moo
 re’s law are pushing architects to conceive new solutions resulting in i
 ncreasing heterogeneity and complexity of hardware. The result is that the
 re is too much for host CPUs to juggle in between accelerators and complex
  software. As a new paradigm\, we propose Self-Serve System Services (SQua
 dS) for an efficient and flexible interface. Specifically\, this comprises
  moving the System Services of choice like Garbage Collection\, Memory All
 ocation or Page Fault Serving down to HW alongside existing computing unit
 s. This enables accelerators to choose between hardware implementations of
  System Services to Self-Serve or to call the OS from host CPUs as usual. 
 We argue that circumstances are ideal for such a transformation to be made
  in the near future.
