Today, we are seeing two trends in the data center. On the one hand, applications are becoming more fine-grained, driven by the recent trend of serverless computing and microservices. On the other hand, data-center hardware is becoming more heterogeneous and customized to different computing needs. Because of these trends and for better manageability, several major data centers are moving towards a disaggregated architecture, where different hardware resources like storage and accelerators are organized as independent, network-attached pools. However, data centers today are still server-centric and relies heavily on traditional CPU-based servers.
