Can SDN Help HPC?
Eiji Kawai · 2012
Software-defined networks (SDN) have a high potential for serving HPC applications effectively. In this presentation, I will overview the concept of SDN and the implementation of OpenFlow technology. Then, I will introduce the RISE OpenFlow testbed infrastructure deployed by NICT and the joint research project with Osaka Univ., whose goal is to achieve an integrated control mechanism between the overlay networks and the underlay networks.
