Research talk: Cloud networking for a post-Moore’s Law era

Emerging cloud workloads like large-scale AI and new system drivers like hardware accelerators and resource disaggregation will require significantly higher bandwidth, lower latency and higher reliability than today’s applications. It will be very hard to meet these requirements with mainstream network technologies that are starting to be impacted by the slowdown of Moore’s Law. This perfect storm rules out incremental improvements as the network infrastructure needs to be at least an order of magnitude more efficient to cater to future cloud requirements. In this lightening talk, Hitesh Ballani, Researcher at Microsoft, will outline this need for disruptive change and will also explain how Microsoft Research is betting on optical innovation to create, from the ground up, new network technologies for both switching and transmission that could potentially offer the required step-change in cloud network performance.
