报告摘要：Driven by the demands of explosive big data applications, big data computing across geographically dispersed data centers is evolving to be a major paradigm for high-performance big data analytics. A data center network is composed of a dedicated center network (CN) of ultra-high bandwidth that interconnects multiple data centers, each containing a massive number of servers, and an edge network (EN) that connects the CN to edge servers through the Internet. While the CN provides high-performance distributed computing on an ultra-large scale in both parallelism and geographical span, the EN supports real-time data supply from heterogeneous sources of data collection, transmission and outsourcing, and as well as ubiquitous on-demand client access. In this talk, I will first introduce the architecture and new features of big data computing in data center networks, and discuss the current research status in different levels of the computing system in response to three big challenges - efficiency, reliability and security. I will then show the research opportunities in this forefront of advanced computing and communication by illustrating some relevant work done within my research group. Finally I will conclude the talk by displaying our on-going work and future research in this direction. .
