چکیده
We built and evaluated a hybrid electrical-packet/optical-circuit network for datacenters using a 10 μs optical circuit switch using wavelength-selective switches based on binary MEMs. This network has the potential to support large-scale, dynamic datacenter workloads. © 2013 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.4250, 060.4253,060.6718.

The paper is dealing with the analysis, design and performance evaluation of a hybrid electro-optical Intra-Data Center Network, based on the Long-Range Dependence (LRD) traffic-generation model, as well as the so called “Fat-Tree” architecture. A thorough simulation of the data generation at Server level is performed, followed by the aggregation of data streams at the Top-of-Rack, Aggregation ...
متن کاملSoftware-Controlled Next Generation Optical Circuit Switching for HPC and Cloud Computing Datacenters
In this paper, we consider the performance of optical circuit switching (OCS) systems designed for data center networks by using network-level simulation. Recent proposals have used OCS in data center networks but the relatively slow switching times of OCS-MEMS switches (10–100 ms) and the latencies of control planes in these approaches have limited their use to the largest data center networks...
