Keynote Speaker I
Prof. Zuqing Zhu
IEEE Fellow
The University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), China
Keynote Lecture: Machine Learning in and for Optical Data-Center Networks
Abstract: In the first part of this talk, we will first discuss the challenges on scalability, energy and manageability of data-center network (DCN) systems, and then explain why all-optical inter-connection can be a promising solution for future DCN systems. Next, we describe a novel all-optical inter-connection architecture based on arrayed waveguide grating router (AWGR) and wavelength-selective switches (WSS'), namely, Hyper-FleX-LION, explain its operation principle, and show experimental results of running distributed machine learning (DML) in a DCN in Hyper-FleX-LION. In the second part of this talk, we will explain how machine learning can be leveraged to realized knowledge-defined networking (KDN) and facilitate network automation in DCNs. Experimental results demonstrate that KDN can automatically reduce task completion time.
