Distributed Computing Column 74 Survey of Recon gurable Data Center Networks

This column consists of an overview of recon gurable data center networks and is contributed by Klaus-Tycho Foerster and Stefan Schmid. After giving some accessible background on how such networks came about from the technological and empirical perspective, the authors provide an overview of the algorithmic results obtained so far for problems in this area. The take-away is that the surface has only been scratched and there is potential for much interesting work on algorithmic foundations for recon gurable data center networks.
