| Computing Force Network Requirements Derivation | **Virtual Desktop Infrastructure Requirements Based on Computing and Network Convergence:** <br> 1. When users use cloud desktops, they have different requirements for latency and bandwidth based on the purpose of the cloud desktop. For example, cloud desktops for office use generally require a latency of less than 30ms and a bandwidth of around 2M, while for simulation design cloud desktops, the latency is lower and the bandwidth is higher. Therefore, a good solution requires the ability to calculate a network path with appropriate latency and bandwidth based on the cloud desktop type required by the user when selecting a computing resource pool. In this scenario, the computing force network is required to have network scheduling capability. <br> 2. Additionally, the required computing and storage resources may vary depending on the type of cloud desktop. For example, office type cloud desktops generally only require CPU and some memory, while designing simulation type cloud desktops typically requires GPU, as well as more CPU and memory. Therefore, when selecting a computing resource pool, computing force network should be able to select computing entities with the required hardware form and physical capacity based on the type of cloud desktop. Computing force network need to have computing scheduling capabilities. <br> 3. Employees may travel outside their premises at any time. In order to ensure a consistent experience for users using cloud desktops in their new location, computing force network needs to be able to reassign cloud desktop resources based on the new physical location of employees after identifying their movement, and then perform cloud desktop migration.|

| Use Case Description | 1. Computer Force Network integrates distributed and ubiquitous computing capabilities in different geographic locations, and its sources include various computing devices such as cloud computing nodes, edge computing nodes, end devices, network devices, etc. The computing tasks in the CFN environment are large in volume and diverse in type, including data analysis, AI reasoning, graphics rendering, and other computing tasks. In this case, the traditional traffic control strategy may not be able to effectively handle the diversity and magnitude of tasks, which may lead to the waste of computing resources, delay of computing tasks, and degradation of service quality. To solve these problems, AI-based traffic control and computing force matching can be used to train AI models using deep learning algorithms by collecting a large amount of network traffic data, device state data, and task demand data. The model can not only learn the pattern of network traffic and computing tasks but also predict future traffic changes and task demands, as well as the computing capacity of devices, and adjust the traffic control strategy and arithmetic matching strategy in real-time based on this information. <br> 2.With the help of AI, operators can manage traffic and computing force more effectively, reduce network congestion, improve the utilization of computing resources, reduce the latency of computing tasks, and improve the quality of service. For example, when a large number of data analysis tasks are predicted to be coming, AI systems can adjust network configurations in advance to prioritize allocating computing resources to these tasks to meet demand. When the capacity of computing devices is predicted to be insufficient to handle the upcoming tasks, the AI system can adjust the traffic control policy in advance to redirect some tasks to other devices to prevent congestion. <br> 3. AI-based Computer Force Network traffic control and computer force matching bring significant performance improvements to large-scale CFN, enabling operators to manage computing resources better to meet the demands of various computing tasks. <br> |

| Use Case Description | When users apply for AI services from computing force network, taking facial recognition as an example, they will provide facial recognition task type, data to be processed (such as image transmission interface, image quantity, image size), preferred detection location, processing speed, cost constraints, etc. The computing force network will choose a suitable facial recognition software and a computing force cluster to deploy facial recognition software, complete configuration, and provide services based on user needs. <br> Since the computing force network forms a unified network with computing force of different sources and types, the underlying computing force that used to carries the facial recognition service can be any one or more of Nvidia GPU, Intel CPU, Huawei NPU, Cambrian MLU, Haiguang DCU and many other intelligent chips. Therefore, the deployment, operation, and migration of AI applications on heterogeneous computing chips from multiple vendors is one of the typical use cases of computing force networks. This use case is similar to the AI application’s cross architecture migration scenario in cloud computing. <br> In addition to users applying for AI services from computing force network, the above use case is also suitable for users to deploy self-developed AI applications into computing force network. |

| Current Solutions and Gap Analysis | AI applications (i.e., AI services) generally requires the support of "AI framework + Toolchain + Hardware", where: AI framework refers to PaddlePaddle, Pytorch, TensorFlow, etc.; Hardware refers to the AI chips of various device manufacturers; The Toolchain is a series of software built by various AI-chip manufacturers around their AI chips, including but not limited to IDE, compiler, runtime, device driver, etc. At present, users need to choose programming languages and framework models, specify hardware backend, and perform integrated compilation and linking at application development and design stages. If wanting to run AI applications on any AI chips in computing force network, it is necessary to develop multiple versions of codes, complete the compilation for different AI chips, using the development toolchain matched by each chip, and then deploy to the runtime of specific AI chips.

| Reference Implementation | This section is only a solution designed for cross architecture deployment and migration of AI applications, and other implementations and processes may also exist. <br>  <br> Workflows： <br> Pre1. The orchestration and management layer has already managed the underlying computing resource pool and monitored the resource situation within the pool in real-time. <br> Pre2. The computing service provider prepares a cross architecture basic image based on the resource types in the computing resource pool, and registers the image in the central image repository of the orchestration and management layer. A cross architecture runtime is at least included in the cross architecture basic image. This cross architecture runtime can provide a unified abstraction of computing resources for upper level businesses, thereby shielding underlying hardware differences; and can translate unified AI calls into API or instruction call of chips’ toolchain to execute the computing task. <br> 1. Computing force network provides AI application developers (i.e. users) with a flexible and loadable local cross architecture development environment, including cross architecture IDEs (compilers, SDKs, etc.) and cross architecture environment simulators (flexibly adapted according to the user's local underlying hardware type, simulating unified and abstract computing resources for application debugging). <br> 2. After completing AI application development, users can generate cross architecture executable files through the cross architecture development environment, and upload them to the cross architecture business executable file repository of CFN orchestration and management layer. <br> 3. Users propose descriptive SLA requirements for AI application deployment to CFN, and the orchestration and management layer receives SLA requests. <br> 4. The orchestration and management layer analyzes SLA requirements based on monitoring data of multiple types of resources in CFN and converts them into resource requirements that can be understood by the infrastructure layer. This resource requirement can be met by multiple resource combinations, and after the user selects a specific combination scheme, it triggers application deployment. <br> 5. The application deployment process first completes the generation of AI application images and deployment files. For the image, the corresponding cross architecture basic image will be pulled from the central image repository based on the underlying resource type, and automatically packaged with the cross architecture executable file of the AI application to be deployed to generate a complete cross architecture AI application image. The complete AI application image will be distributed to the image repository in the underlying resource pool. For deployment files, automatic deployment files will be generated based on the underlying environment type (bare metal environment, container environment, virtual machine environment), resolved resource requirements, image location, business configuration, and other information/files (which can be scripts, Helm Chart, Heat templates, etc.) <br> 6. The orchestration and management component in the infrastructure layer resource pool deploys AI applications based on deployment files, and complete cross architecture AI application image. <br> 7. If AI application needs to be migrated to resource pools with other chips (CPU, FPGA, ASIC, etc.), repeat steps 4, 5, and 6. |

| Use Case Description | According to Section 2.3, the CFN provides a resource-based service model, allowing users to directly apply for resources such as bare metal, virtual machines, and containers to the CFN. Some users are also more inclined to use bare metal services due to considerations such as performance, security, and the difficulty of business virtualization/containerization transformation. Traditional bare metal service resources are difficult to flexibly configure. Customers need to adapt to various drivers. The distribution and management process is lengthy. Whether it is customer experience or management and operation methods, there is a big gap compared with virtualization services. Therefore, how to realize the flexible management and operation and maintenance of various infrastructures by CFN providers, and simplify the use of bare metal by users is an important requirement of the CFN data center. This scenario is also applicable to the fields of cloud computing and cloud-network integration. |

| Current Solutions and Gap Analysis | For CFN providers, in the traditional bare metal distribution process, manual configuration of the network is required in the inspection stage, and multiple network switching, node installation, and restart operations are required in the provisioning and tenant stages. The overall process is complicated and lengthy. For users, the number of network cards and storage specifications are fixed, which cannot meet the differentiated network card and storage requirements of different users. In addition, since bare metal NIC drivers and storage clients are visible to users, users need to make adaptations, which further increases the difficulty for users to use bare metal. At the same time, the exposure of the block storage network to the guest operating system also poses security risks. <br> |
