Multi-objective service oriented network provisioning in ultra-scale systems

Abstract

The paradigm of ultra-scale computing has been recently pushed forward by the current trends in distributed computing. This novel architecture concept is focused towards a federation of multiple geographically distributed heterogeneous systems under a single system image, thus allowing efficient deployment and management of very com-plex architectures applications. To enable sustainable ultra-scale comput-ing, there are multiple major challenges, which have to be tackled, such as, improved data distribution, increased systems scalability, enhanced fault tolerance, elastic resource management, low latency communica-tion and etc. Regrettably, the current research initiatives in the area of ultra-scale computing are in a very early stage of research and are pre-dominantly concentrated on the management of the computational and storage resources, thus leaving the networking aspects unexplored. In this paper we introduce a promising new paradigm for cluster-based Multi-objective service-oriented network provisioning for ultra-scale computing environments by unifying the management of the local communication resources and the external inter-domain network services under a single point of view. We explore the potentials for representing the local net-work resources within a single distributed or parallel system and combine them together with the external communication services.
