Data-centric Infrastructure for Supporting Data Processing in the IOWN Era and Its Proof of Concept

“Data-centric infrastructure” is an information and communication technology infrastructure for highly efficient processing of data scattered over a wide area, and in a data-driven society, it is expected to be used as the foundation of large-scale cyber-physical systems (CPSs). The concept of a data-centric infrastructure, which effectively uses accelerators and the All-Photonics Network to provide a data-processing pipeline, is outlined in this article. A step-by-step demonstration of the concept is introduced by using video analysis as a use case concerning a CPS. © 2024 Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.. All rights reserved.
