Hybrid Optical Switching for Data Center Networks
Current data centers networks rely on electronic switching and point-to-point interconnects. When considering future data center requirements, these solutions will raise issues in terms of flexibility, scalability, performance and energy consumption. For this reason several optical switched interconnects, which make use of optical switches and wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), have been r...
متن کاملTopology Switching for Data Center Networks
Emerging data-center network designs seek to provide physical topologies with high bandwidth, large bisection capacities, and many alternative data paths. Yet, existing protocols present a one-size-fits-all approach for forwarding packets. Traditionally, the routing process chooses one “best” route for each end-point pair. While some modern protocols support multiple paths through techniques li...
متن کاملPhotonic Crystal-Based Polarization Converter for Optical Communication Applications
A photonic crystal-based TE to TM polarization converter for integrated optical communication is proposed in this paper. The photonic crystal consists of air circular-holes in slab waveguide. The radius of holes are determined to be 291nm having lattice constant of 640nm using the gap map and band diagram. The polarization converter is composed of an InGaAsP triangular-shaped waveguide on SiO2 ...
متن کاملScaling silicon photonic switch fabrics for data center interconnection networks.
With the rapidly increasing aggregate bandwidth requirements of data centers there is a growing interest in the insertion of optically interconnected networks with high-radix transparent optical switch fabrics. Silicon photonics is a particularly promising and applicable technology due to its small footprint, CMOS compatibility, high bandwidth density, and the potential for nanosecond scale dyn...
متن کاملEnergy proportional data center applications
Data center applications pose challenges with respect to their performance and energy requirements. These applications are mostly network oriented applications that are executed in data centers. The energy usage of a data center becomes more important as it scales and, thus, it approaches its physical limitations. The expectation of achieving maximum performance, in terms of latency and through...
