AI Technical Summary

⚠Technical Problem

Conventional methods for selecting data centers in optical networks fail to fully utilize the advantages of All-Photonics Networks (APN) by not considering the unique characteristics of short processing propagation delay and small delay variation, often leading to suboptimal choices that do not meet real-time processing requirements.

⚗Method used

An information processing apparatus and method that utilizes an orchestrator to acquire apparatus information from data centers in an APN, selecting a data center based on specific task requirements, including latency, bandwidth, and green energy usage, to ensure suitability and real-time performance.

🎯Benefits of technology

Enables the selection of data centers that meet real-time processing demands and reduce latency by leveraging the inherent characteristics of APN, allowing for efficient allocation of computational resources and stable service provision.

Abstract

An information processing apparatus of the present disclosure includes control circuitry that acquires apparatus information on a plurality of processing apparatuses configured to perform communication via an optical network. The control circuitry acquires a request in executing a task related to a service from a providing apparatus that provides the service. Based on apparatus information, the control circuitry selects at least one processing apparatus that is to execute a task in accordance with a request and that is to transmit an execution result of the task to a provision target of the service via the optical network.
