Fast data dissemination in Kautz-based modular datacenter network

Abstract

Modular datacenters (MDC) use shipping containers, which encapsulate thousands of servers, as large pluggable building blocks for mega datacenter. We present a novel modular datacenter network (MDCN) based on Kautz, called SCautz, and design a fast data dissemination algorithm, called FDAA. FDDA is able to construct 2d edge-disjoint spanning trees for parallel data dissemination. Results from theoretical analysis and simulations show that FDDA can achieve 2d order of magnitude speedup for one-to-all traffic.
