Abstract

The performance of distributed and data-centric applications often critically depends on the interconnecting network. Emerging reconfigurable datacenter networks (RDCNs) are a particularly innovative approach to improve datacenter throughput. Relying on a dynamic optical topology which can be adjusted towards the workload in a demand-aware manner, RDCNs allow to exploit temporal and spatial locality in the communication pattern, and to provide topological shortcuts for frequently communicating racks. The key challenge, however, concerns how to realize demand-awareness in RDCNs in a scalable fashion.
