The influence of datacenter usage on symmetry in datacenter network design (2017)
Journal Article
Stewart, I., & Erickson, A. (2018). The influence of datacenter usage on symmetry in datacenter network design. Journal of Supercomputing, 74(6), 2276-2313. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11227-017-2217-1

We undertake the first formal analysis of the role of symmetry, interpreted broadly, in the design of server-centric datacenter networks. Although symmetry has been mentioned by other researchers, we explicitly relate it to various specific, structur...

On the combinatorial design of data centre network topologies (2017)
Journal Article
Stewart, I. (2017). On the combinatorial design of data centre network topologies. Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 89, 328-348. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcss.2017.05.015

The theory of combinatorial designs has recently been used in order to build switch-centric data centre networks incorporating a large number of servers, in comparison with the popular Fat-Tree data centre network. We clarify and extend these results... Read More about On the combinatorial design of data centre network topologies.

Improved routing algorithms in the dual-port datacenter networks HCN and BCN (2017)
Journal Article
Erickson, A., Stewart, I., Pascual, J., & Navaridas, J. (2017). Improved routing algorithms in the dual-port datacenter networks HCN and BCN. Future Generation Computer Systems, 75, 58-71. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.future.2017.05.004

We present significantly improved one-to-one routing algorithms in the datacenter networks HCN and View the MathML source in that our routing algorithms result in much shorter paths when compared with existing routing algorithms. We also present a mu... Read More about Improved routing algorithms in the dual-port datacenter networks HCN and BCN.
