  • 将自然语言需求转为可机器验证的正式规范,确保约束条件严格满足。
  • 在三个不同任务中生成的策略均优于人工设计基准,性能显著提升。
  • 支持跨任务迁移与系统化搜索,适合需要快速迭代的网络工程师。

数据中心的效率依赖于其控制平面策略。随着软硬件栈日益复杂,设计空间庞大且相互依赖,单个策略原型开发需数月时间。现有通用智能体AI存在三大短板:缺乏形式化表达,无法保证硬约束;任务间不可迁移,知识无法复用;探索方式单一,易陷入局部最优。本文提出AtumAI框架,通过两个核心组件实现形式化、可迁移、系统化的策略生成。首先,数据中心任务编译器将自然语言目标转化为形式化、可机检、可搜索的任务规格,包括目标、约束、决策变量和评估方法。其次,进化式设计发现环利用扩散模型、进化算法与代理模型,在此基础上扩展搜索空间,突破LLM局限。该框架将新任务上手时间从数月缩短至仅需描述需求。我们在工作负载调度、资源伸缩和功耗管理三项任务上验证了AtumAI,结果表明其生成策略持续优于专家工程基线。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The efficiency of a datacenter rests on its control plane policies. Designing these policies is increasingly hard: the hardware-software stack grows fast, the design space is vast and interdependent, and prototyping a single policy takes months. Agentic AI promises to automate this search. Off the shelf, however, it falls short on three fronts. It is not formal: with no structured, searchable statement of the problem, the search has little structure to exploit and hard constraints are not guaranteed. It is not transferable: each task is solved from scratch, so nothing learned on one task carries to the next. Finally, it is not systematic: relying on the LLM as the sole source of candidates, it explores a narrow slice of the design space and settles into local optima. We introduce AtumAI, a framework that generates datacenter control-plane policies with agentic AI, making the process formal, transferable, and systematic. From a goal stated in plain language, AtumAI autonomously proposes, tests, and refines candidate policies until one satisfies the request. It does so through two components. The Datacenter Task Compiler automates problem formulation: it compiles the request into a formal, machine-checkable, and searchable specification of the task's objectives, constraints, decision variables, and evaluation methodology. The Evolutionary Design Discovery Loop then searches this specification, expanding the search beyond the LLM itself via a diffusion model, an evolutionary algorithm, and a surrogate model. Together, they reduce onboarding a new task from months of engineering to writing its description. We evaluate AtumAI on three control-plane tasks with distinct problem scopes, design spaces, and trade-offs: workload placement, resource scaling, and power management. Across all tasks, the policies generated by AtumAI consistently outperform expert-engineered baselines.
