In centralized cache management for SDN-based ICN, it is an optimization problem to compute the location of cache servers and takes a longer time. We solve this problem by proposing to use singular-value-decomposition (SVD) and QR-factorization with column pivoting methods of linear algebra as follows. The traffic matrix of the network is lower-rank. Therefore, we compute the most important switches in the network by using SVD and QR-factorization with column pivoting methods. By using real network traces, the results show that our proposed approach reduces the computation time significantly, and also decreases the traffic overhead and energy consumption as compared to the existing approach.
