Nonlinearity compensation is considered as a key enabler to increase channel transmission rates in the installed optical communication systems. Recently, data-driven approaches - motivated by modern machine learning techniques have been proposed for communications place of traditional model-based counterparts.

Digital pre-compensation (DPC) is an indispensable block of state-of-the-art optical transceivers, and a key enabler for high-order modulation formats (HOMFs) transmission. A crucial component, which enables the transmission precompensated HOMFs, digital-to-analog-converter (DAC).

The difficulty of building large data centers in dense metro areas is pushing big cloud providers towards a different approach to scaling: multiple smaller within tens kilometers each other, comprising "region". We show that networking this small number nearby sites with other surprisingly challenging and multi-faceted problem. draw out the operational goals constraints such networks, highlight design trade-offs involved using from Microsoft Azure's regions.
