Thread the Needle: Advancing AI-Powered Networking and Cybersecurity with FABRICAs artificial intelligence continues to transform industries, the demands placed on modern networks are growing at an unprecedented pace. Supporting AI applications requires faster data movement, more intelligent infrastructure, and new approaches to processing information at scale. At the University of South Carolina, researchers Dr. Elie Kfoury and Dr. Jorge Crichigno are leveraging FABRIC to explore how specialized networking hardware can help meet these challenges by improving both network performance and cybersecurity while preparing infrastructure for the next generation of AI.

Introducing LoomAI: A New AI-Powered Way to Build Experiments on FABRICGetting started with FABRIC is now easier with LoomAI, a hosted, AI-enhanced graphical interface that helps researchers design, manage, and deploy experiments through visual tools and natural-language interaction. LoomAI complements the existing FABRIC Portal and JupyterHub environments, supports multiple AI models, and is available to users with valid project credentials. With future plans to integrate additional testbeds such as Chameleon and Sphere, LoomAI aims to provide a unified workspace for cross-platform experimentation while making FABRIC more accessible to both new and experienced researchers.

“FABRIC stands out because of its end-to-end programmability. This allows users to program all the elements of the network, from network interface cards (NICs) to P4 switches, offering a unique platform for research and innovation in network design.”
FABRIC Does Intelligent Networking
Rethink how networks process and cache data to enable uses we cannot yet predict.
Connect with real facilities: NSF clouds and testbeds, ACCESS compute clusters, and campus infrastructure
Run applications anywhere: campus, edge, cloud, or routers in between
Program your hardware: control advanced in-network compute, storage, and accelerators with programmable NICs and switches on dedicated circuits
