报告简介：Driven by the demands of explosive big data applications, efficient, reliable and secure computation orienting big-data analytics across geographically dispersed data centers is evolving to be a major paradigm for advanced computing. A data center network is composed of a dedicated center network (CN) of ultra-high bandwidth that interconnects multiple data centers, each containing a massive number of servers, and an edge network (EN) that connects the CN to edge servers through the Internet. While the CN provides high-performance distributed computing on an ultra-large scale in both parallelism and geographical span, the EN supports real-time data supply from heterogeneous sources of data collection, transmission and outsourcing, and as well as ubiquitous on-demand client access.

In this talk, I will first introduce the architecture and new features of big-data oriented advanced computing in data center networks, and discuss the current research status in different levels of the computing system in response to three big challenges - efficiency, reliability and security. I will then show the research opportunities in this forefront of advanced computing and communication by illustrating some relevant work done within my research group. Finally I will conclude the talk by displaying our on-going work and future research in this direction.
