Abstract
Data processing units (DPUs) with embedded graphics processing units (GPUs) have the potential to revolutionize optical network functionalities at the edge. These advanced units can significantly enhance the performance and capabilities of optical networks by integrating powerful processing capabilities directly at the network edge, where data is generated and consumed. We explore the use cases for DPUs in optical data monitoring with local artificial intelligence (AI) processing and embedded security. This paradigm shift aims to enable more efficient data handling, reduced latency, and improved overall network performance by leveraging local AI processing capabilities embedded within DPUs. In this paper, we show how DPUs can analyze vast amounts of optical data in real-time, implementing advanced data analysis algorithms and security protocols directly on the DPUs to provide robust monitoring and protection for the optical networks. Results indicate that DPUs with embedded GPUs can significantly improve the detection and response times to network anomalies, performance issues, and security threats.
