The Partitioned Optical Passive Stars Network: Simulations and Fundamental Operations

The Partitioned Optical Passive Stars (POPS) topology

This paper presents and analyzes a topological approach to providing multiple data channels using current technologies. The Partitioned Optical Passive Stars (POPS) topology is an all-optical interconnec-tion architecture that uses multiple non-hierarchical couplers. POPS topologies provide powerful conng-urability for optimization of system complexity, network throughput, power budget, and con...

Routing permutations in Partitioned Optical Passive Stars Networks

It is shown that a Partitioned Optical Passive Stars (POPS) network with g groups and d processors per group can route any permutation among the n = dg processors in one slot when d = 1 and 2dd=ge slots when d > 1. The number of slots used is optimal in the worst case, and is at most the double of the optimum for all permutations π such that π(i) 6= i, for all i.

Parallel Computation of Data Summation for Multiple Problem Spaces on Partitioned Optical Passive Stars Network

In Partitioned Optical Passive Stars POPS network, nodes and couplers become free after slot to slot in some computation. It is necessary to efficiently utilize free couplers and nodes to be cost effective. Improving parallelism, we present the fast data summation algorithm for multiple problem spaces on POPS(g, g) with smaller number of nodes for the case of d = √ n = g. For the case of d > √ ...
