Reconfigurable network topology design using algorithmic relaxation

Many network topology design problems in the context of High Performance Computing (HPC) and data centers are NP-hard problems. Yet these problems are important due to a network topology's potential impact in defining network performance. In this project, we intend on using various algorithmic techniques such a genetics algorithm, cross entropy method, etc to obtain approximate solutions to these complex problems. Much of the methods will be implemented in C++.
