In this talk, I will first overview the recent advances of computing and communication technologies, and as well as their emerging convergence spotlighted by data center networks, space Internet, satellite Internet and computing power networks. Then, focusing on the major challenges in efficiency, resilience and security for data center networks, I will show our recent work in these dimensions. Particularly, as an illustration of bridging high-performance computing and AI, I will present our work on machine-learning enhanced smart scheduling of computation tasks in data center networks by combining greedy optimization with deep reinforcement learning. Our method takes advantage of the merits of both models to improve the overall performance while ensuring the worst-case performance guarantee. It exemplifies a promising approach of combining machine learning and traditional optimization techniques to empower the resulting method for solving hard application problems. Finally, I will conclude the talk by displaying our on-going work in smart computing and networking.
