Abstract
An efficient parallelization and deployment method of a multi-objective service function chain based on a CPU+DPU platform solves the problem of multi-objective deployment by constructing a heterogeneous computing architecture composed of an orchestrator and a server based on a CPU+DPU structure; the orchestrator is responsible for receiving an SFC request from a network operator; an SFC deployment algorithm based on deep reinforcement learning is operated, including a parallel strategy, a VNF topological order strategy and a DPU processing strategy to obtain an optimal deployment scheme of each request; then a resource management module is invoked to manage resources; and finally, a driver module is invoked to transmit the deployment scheme to a server for placement, and the server completes the deployment of SFC by using the CPU or the DPU respectively according to the deployment scheme.
