Technology trends in large-scale high-efficiency network computing

Network technology is the basis for large-scale high-efficiency network computing, such as supercomputing, cloud computing, big data processing, and artificial intelligence computing. The network technologies of network computing systems in different fields not only learn from each other but also have targeted design and optimization. Considering it comprehensively, three development trends, i.e., integration, differentiation, and optimization, are summarized in this paper for network technologies in different fields. Integration reflects that there are no clear boundaries for network technologies in different fields, differentiation reflects that there are some unique solutions in different application fields or innovative solutions under new application requirements, and optimization reflects that there are some optimizations for specific scenarios. This paper can help academic researchers consider what should be done in the future and industry personnel consider how to build efficient practical network systems.
