Abstract :Data Processing Units (DPUs) with embedded GPU have the potential to rev- olutionize optical networks functionalities at the edge. Use cases are presented for optical data monitoring with local AI processing and embedded security. https://zenodo.org/records/11030207

Abstract :The seamless orchestration of resources across the edge-cloud continuum has become a cornerstone in modern critical computing infrastructures. Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role in enabling the fast and efficient management of diverse and demanding workloads. However, maintaining data security, while optimizing resources can be a significant challenge especially in multi-domain environments. AI…

Abstract :In distributed environments, data for Machine Learning (ML) applications may be generated from numerous sources and devices, and traverse a cloud-edge continuum via a variety of protocols, using multiple security schemes and equipment types. While ML models typically benefit from using large training sets, not all data can be equally trusted. In this work,…

Abstract: We demonstrate the first 92.3-Gbits/s line-rate, end-to-end post-quantum cryptography optical fiber link based on HW accelerators and processing offloading. © 2024The Author(s) https://zenodo.org/records/10932316

Abstract: In-network function offloading represents a key enabler of the SDN-based data plane programmability to enhance network operation and awareness while speeding up applications and reducing the energy footprint. The offload of network functions exploiting machine learning and artificial intelligence has been recently considered with intermediate solutions such as feature extraction acceleration and mixed architectures…
