Adaptive Protocols and Reconfigurable Optical Interconnects for Datacenter Networks
Abstract
Datacenter networks form the foundation of today's large-scale computing infrastructure, supporting a wide range of online services and data-intensive applications. As these systems continue to evolve, the pressure on the network to deliver higher bandwidth and lower latency has intensified. Measurements from production environments already show dramatic growth trends. For example, server-generated traffic in Google datacenters increased by a factor of fifty over a six-year period between 2008 and 2014. This growth is expected to accelerate further with the widespread deployment of GPU clusters for large-scale distributed training.
