Scalable CMOS-compatible photonic routing topologies for versatile networks on chip

چکیده
Optical network on chip (ONoC) architectures are emerging as potential contenders to solve both physical (routing, wire congestion) and performance (bandwidth, latency) issues in future computing architectures. In this work, we present a scalable and fully connected ONoC topology for multiple-core and heterogeneous SoCs. We show that it is possible, through careful design of network interfaces, to use the ONoC directly with existing protocols, while still exploiting specific optical properties and improving overall performance metrics, most notably that of congestion.
