Performance of large-scale reconfigurable optical interconnection networks in DSM systems
We present how a custom reconfigurable optical network can be incorporated into Distributed Shared-memory (DSM) multiprocessor machines, and show the potential speed improvement of the interprocessor communication, even when the limits associated to opto-electronics are included. We find that for 32 processors connected in a torus topology, slowly reconfiguring interconnects can provide up to 3...
متن کاملReconfigurable Interconnects in DSM Systems: A Focus on Context Switch Behavior
Recent advances in the development of reconfigurable optical interconnect technologies allow for the fabrication of low cost and run-time adaptable interconnects in large distributed shared-memory (DSM) multiprocessor machines. This can allow the use of adaptable interconnection networks that alleviate the huge bottleneck present due to the gap between the processing speed and the memory access...
متن کاملPredicting the Performance of Reconfigurable Interconnects in Distributed Shared-Memory Systems
New advances in reconfigurable optical interconnect technologies will allow the fabrication of lowcost, fast and run-time adaptable networks for connecting processors and memory modules in large distributed shared-memory multiprocessor machines. Since the switching times of these components are typically high compared to the memory access time, reconfiguration exploits low frequency dynamics in...

New advances in reconfigurable optical interconnect technologies will allow the fabrication of cheap, fast and run-time adaptable networks for connecting processors and memory modules in large shared-memory multiprocessor machines. Since the switching times of these components are typically high compared to the memory access time, reconfiguration can only take place on a time scale significantl...
متن کاملHigh-speed (2.5 Gbps) reconfigurable inter-chip optical interconnects using opto-VLSI processors.
Reconfigurablele optical interconnects enable flexible and high-performance communication in multi-chip architectures to be arbitrarily adapted, leading to efficient parallel signal processing. The use of Opto-VLSI processors as beam steerers and multicasters for reconfigurable inter-chip optical interconnection is discussed. We demonstrate, as proof-of-concept, 2.5 Gbps reconfigurable optical ...
