Abstract

Nowadays, datacenters interconnected with optical networks have become the fundamental infrastructure to accommodate high-performance datacenter applications. Lacking of layer interaction between datacenters and networks during service provisioning, many end user applications cannot efficiently utilize the network capabilities, nor can they achieve the desired quality of service objectives. In response to these challenges, cross-stratum optimization has been studied to optimize the computing and network resources utilization from a united view. Meanwhile, the type of network applications becomes diverse. Compared to traditional immediate reservation (IR) request, a new type of request called advance reservation (AR) has recently been gaining attention for optical networks. IR’s start time of data transmission is assumed to be immediate, while AR request typically specifies the earliest time or the deadline of data transmission. According to the time features of AR request, AR applications should be scheduled in time dimension. Thus, it is both important and challenging to reserve computing and network resources in efficient manners. In this study, a cross-stratum resource model considering time dimension is set up, and a cross-stratum resource reservation (CSRR) algorithm is proposed to schedule AR applications and to reserve cross-stratum resource. Simulation results show that CSRR can reduce the failure rates of AR applications and improve the resource consumption ratio significantly.
