PhD Researcher
Zuo Xiang received his Master degree (Diplom-Ingenieur) in electrical engineering with honors from the TU Dresden, Germany, in 2018. During his PhD study, his research focused on 5G network softwarization through NFV and SDN technologies. The title of his PhD dissertation is “Ultra Low-latency, Energy-efficient and Computing-centric Software Data Plane for Network Softwarization”. In addition to his solid research skills, he is experienced in designing and developing high-performance software systems for virtualized network functions (VNFs) and server-side applications. He also has experience in 5G core network system development and has in-depth knowledge of network system design, network protocol stacks, communication protocols and operating systems.

The incorporation of machine learning through the applications of trained models in these scenarios can pose a computational challenge. The softwarization of networks provides opportunities to incorporate computing into the network, increasing flexibility by distributing workloads through offloading from client and edge nodes over in-network nodes to servers. In this article, we present an example for splitting the inference component of the YOLOv2 trained machine learning model between client, network, and service side processing to reduce the overall service latency. Assuming a client has 20% of the server computational resources, we observe a more than 12-fold reduction of service latency when incorporating our service split compared to on-client processing and and an increase in speed of more than 25% compared to performing everything on the server. Our approach is not only applicable to object detection, but can also be applied in a broad variety of machine learning-based applications and services.}, keywords = {}, pubstate = {published}, tppubtype = {article} }
