Multi-objective Service Oriented Network Provisioning in Ultra-scale Systems

The paradigm of ultra-scale computing has been recently pushed forward by the current trends in distributed computing. This novel architecture concept is focused towards a federation of multiple geographically distributed heterogeneous systems under a single system image, thus allowing efficient deployment and management of very complex architectures applications. To enable sustainable ultra-scale computing, there are multiple major challenges, which have to be tackled, such as, improved data distribution, increased systems scalability, enhanced fault tolerance, elastic resource management, low latency communication and etc. Regrettably, the current research initiatives in the area of ultra-scale computing are in a very early stage of research and are predominantly concentrated on the management of the computational and storage resources, thus leaving the networking aspects unexplored. In this paper we introduce a promising new paradigm for cluster-based Multi-objective service-oriented network provisioning for ultra-scale computing environments by unifying the management of the local communication resources and the external inter-domain network services under a single point of view. We explore the potentials for representing the local network resources within a single distributed or parallel system and combine them together with the external communication services.
