Switches for HIRE: resource scheduling for data center in-network computing
Marcel Blöcher, Lin Wang, Patrick Eugster, Max Schmidt
Abstract
The recent trend towards more programmable switching hardware in data centers opens up new possibilities for distributed applications to leverage in-network computing (INC). Literature so far has largely focused on individual application scenarios of INC, leaving aside the problem of coordinating usage of potentially scarce and heterogeneous switch resources among multiple INC scenarios, applications, and users. The traditional model of resource pools of isolated compute containers does not fit an INC-enabled data center.
