    摘要: Various systems and methods for implementing a multi-access edge computing (MEC) based system to realize 5G Network Edge and Core Service Dimensioning using Machine Learning and other Artificial Intelligence Techniques, for improved operations and usage of computing and networking resources, and are disclosed herein. In an example, processing circuitry of a compute node on a network is used to analyze execution of an application to obtain operational data. The compute node then may modularize functions of the application based on the operational data to construct modularized functions. A phase transition graph is constructed using a machine-learning based analysis, the phase transition graph representing state transitions from one modularized function to another modularized function, where the phase transition graph is used to dimension the application by distributing the modularized functions across the network.

    摘要: Technologies for enhanced network discovery and configuration include a network with a fabric manager and multiple network devices. A network device requests platform information from a management controller and receives the platform information via a sideband interface. The network device broadcasts a discovery message indicative of the platform information on a link layer network. The fabric manager discovers the network topology with an enhanced link layer discovery protocol and creates a vPOD in the network. The vPOD includes an application network with multiple racks. The fabric manager creates a tagged network domain for the vPOD. The fabric manager sends an out-of-band configuration command to the network device with a tag associated with the vPOD. After receiving the out-of-band configuration command, the network device receives a packet, compares domain metadata of the packet to the tag received from the fabric manager, and routes the packet. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Systems described herein operate to improve network performance in a multi-tenant cloud computing environment. Systems can include communication circuitry and processing circuitry to generate a phase sequence matrix that indicates the identity and number of phases of a workload by measuring resources of the compute node during execution of the workload throughout a lifetime of the workload. The processing circuitry can generate a workload fingerprint that includes the phase sequence matrix and a phrase residency matrix. The phase residency matrix can indicate the fraction of execution time of the workload spent in each phase identified in the phase sequence matrix. A cloud controller can access the workload fingerprint for multiple workloads operating on multiple compute nodes in the cloud cluster to adjust workload allocations based at least on these workload fingerprints and on whether service level objectives (SLOs) are being met.

    摘要: Technologies for contention-aware cloud compute scheduling include a number of compute nodes in a cloud computing cluster and a cloud controller. Each compute node collects performance data indicative of cache contention on the compute node, for example, cache misses per thousand instructions. Each compute node determines a contention score as a function of the performance data and stores the contention score in a cloud state database. In response to a request for a new virtual machine, the cloud controller receives contention scores for the compute nodes and selects a compute node based on the contention score. The cloud controller schedules the new virtual machine on the selected compute node. The contention score may include a contention metric and a contention score level indicative of the contention metric. The contention score level may be determined by comparing the contention metric to a number of thresholds. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: Technologies for managing burst bandwidth requirements are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, a software-defined network (SDN) controller monitors storage devices in a data center. If a storage device fails, the SDN controller manages the bandwidth used to replicate the data that was stored on the failed storage device. The SDN controller may allocate an initial amount of bandwidth based on one or more parameters of the storage device, and the SDN controller may increase the bandwidth in a series of discrete steps. In another embodiment, the SDN controller may predict a bandwidth burst based on sequential writes at a storage sled from several compute devices, and allocate bandwidth accordingly in a tiered manner.

    摘要: A switch or network interface can detect congestion caused by a flow of packets. The switch or network interface can generate a congestion hint packet and send the congestion hint packet directly to a source transmitter of the flow of packets that caused the congestion. The congestion hint packet can include information that the source transmitter can use to determine a remedial action to attempt to alleviate or stop congestion at the switch or network interface. For example, the transmitter can reduce a transmit rate of the flow of packets and/or select another route for the flow of packets. Some or all switches or network interfaces between the source transmitter and a destination endpoint can employ flow differentiation whereby a queue is selected to accommodate for a flow's sensitivity to latency.
