Abstract:
Data centers are infrastructure for big data and cloud computing. In our SING lab, we have been devoted to data center networking research for years. In this talk, I will first overview a lab-scale 100-server data center cluster we implemented and some representative research projects we performed on top of it. Then, I will elaborate more on one project, through which I hope to convey what is defined as a simple yet effective system work in my point of view.
