Automating Configuration and Performance Management of Data Centers

Data centers (DCs) in network softwarization and 5G eras are significantly different from those operated nowadays by public cloud providers. They are massively distributed, closer to end-users, heterogeneous (e.g., multi-access edge, central office as a data center, etc.) and rely on much more complex technologies (e.g., Network Functions Virtualization [NFV] and Software-Defined Networking [SDN]). This […]

Automating Configuration and Performance Management of Data Centers – Year two

Data centers (DCs) in network softwarization and 5G eras are significantly different from those operated nowadays by public cloud providers. They are massively distributed, closer to end-users, heterogeneous (e.g., multi-access edge, central office as a data center, etc.) and rely on much more complex technologies (e.g., Network Functions Virtualization [NFV] and Software-Defined Networking [SDN]).

Accelerating audio matching on multicore machines

The multiple audio sequences matching problem can be regarded as a pattern identification problem with inputs of multiple highly fragmented audio sequences. Singular Software develops a product which employs a model-based alignment algorithm to match audio sequences on a common time line to solve this problem. This product relies on computationally intensive mathematical operations such […]

Simulating bead deposition and heat transfer mechanisms for metal based additive manufacturing processes for complex components

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a process family in which layers of material are deposited to create components. It can also be used to repair complex 3D parts. The scope of this research is to establish a process planning framework for metal-based bead deposition processes that considers the various heat cycling, materials, and process parameters. The […]

Heterogeneous Compilation for P4 and Caching for high-performance networking

Today’s data-center network services cover a broad spectrum that evolve rapidly which means that regularly new services need to be deployed in production networks in a timely manner. Using network programmability, a network programmer can write a precise specification of what the network behaviour should be, and this specification is translated by a compiler and […]
