Analysis of Future Network Architectures

Speaker: Hamid Sadjadpour, UC Santa Cruz
Talk Title: Analysis of Future Network Architectures
Abstract: Future network architectures are being developed based on two main pillars. Software defined network (SDN) is the first effort to separate the network into two control and forwarding planes. The second main attempt is related to shifting from a host-centric paradigm to a content-centric approach. This new architecture is called information-centric network (ICN) where contents are accessed based on their names, and independently of the location of the hosts.
In this talk, we focus on information-theoretic analysis of these architectures. We show the throughput capacity of an information-centric network when the data cached in each node has a limited lifetime. The results show that with some fixed request and cache expiration rates, the network can have the maximum throughput order in cases of grid and random networks. Comparing these values with the corresponding throughput with no cache capability, we can actually quantify the asymptotic advantage of caching.
For SDN networks, we study some fundamental properties of the interface between control and forwarding planes, specifically in case of content routing. We evaluate the traffic between the two planes based on allowing a minimum level of acceptable distortion in the network state representation in the control plane. We apply our framework to content distribution, and show how we can compute the overhead of maintaining the location of content in the control plane. We identify scenarios where the cost of updating the control plane for content routing overwhelms the benefit of fetching the nearest copy. We also show how to minimize the cost of this overhead when associating costs to peering traffic and to internal traffic for operator-driven CDNs.
Biography: Hamid Sadjadpour received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology, Iran in 1986 and 1988 respectively. He received his Ph.D. from USC in 1996. After graduation, he worked at AT&T Shannon Lab. until 2001. In 2001, he joined University of California, Santa Cruz where he is currently a Professor in the Electrical Engineering department.

Integrated Systems Seminar Series
Fri, Nov 08, 2013 @ 03:30 PM - 05:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Ghavam Shahidi, IBM Semiconductor
Talk Title: CMOS Technology Scaling for the Next 10 Years: Device-Technology Interaction and Scaling Value Proposition
Series: Integrated Systems Seminar Series
Abstract: Within the last few years, there has been speculation about the slow-down and even the end of Moore's Law. In this talk we review the benefit of the Moore's Law (with regard to low power and/or performance) over the last 20-30 years, and how the benefit has evolved over the last few years. It will be shown that there is a tight coupling between the choice of transistor and the node-to-node product benefit (using products from Intel and IBM as benchmark). As we move to the 14 nm and beyond, we will discuss device challenges and trade-offs. We will argue that the CMOS technology scaling will continue through 10 nm, 7 nm, and beyond nodes for the next 10 years.
Biography: Ghavam Shahidi received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. Degrees, all in electrical engineering, from MIT. In 1989 he joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, where he initiated the SOI development program in IBM Research. The work ultimately resulted the first mainstream use of SOI. Ghavam Shahidi was the Director of High-Performance Logic Development in IBM Microelectronics until 2003. He is currently the Director of Silicon Technology in IBM Research Division and an IBM Fellow. His work is focused on 10 nm and beyond.
