Hierarchical Optical Ring INterconnection (HORN): A Scalable Interconnection-Network for Multiprocessors and Massively Parallel Systems

A new interconnection network for massively parallel computing is introduced. This network is called a Hierarchal Optical Ring INterconnection (HORN). HORN consists of a single-hop, scalable, constant degree, strictly non-blocking, fault-tolerant interconnection topology that utilizes Wavelength Division Multiple Access (WDMA) to provide better utilization of the terahertz (THz) bandwidth o ere...

Media Access Protocols For A Scalable Optical Interconnection Network

Hierarchical optical interconnection networks have the potential of solving the communication bottleneck that has evolved in parallel processing systems due big increases in processor speeds. Hierarchical Optical Ring Interconnection Network (HORN) [12] is one network architecture that was proposed to provide scalability to a larger number of processing nodes (PNs) with low latency and high ban...

The Design of a Scalable Optical Interconnection Network for Multiprocessors and Multicomputers

A prototype of a novel topology for scalable optical interconnection networks called Optical Multi-Mesh Hypercube, OMMH, is experimentally demonstrated up to 150Mb=s data rate (2 7 1 NRZ pseudo random data pattern) at a bit error rate of 10 13 per link using commercially available devices. OMMH is a scalable network architecture which combines positive features of the hypercube (small diameter,...

Channel Allocation , Power Budget And Bit Error Rate

Recent advances in computer processing speeds have resulted in a parallel processing environment in which the interconnection networks themselves are the limiting factor in terms of performance. One approach to circumvent this limitation is to arrange processing nodes in a hierarchical manner. In a hierarchical network, nodes are arranged in clusters of one or more nodes and these clusters are ...
