Leveraging AWGR-based Optical Packet Switches to Reduce Latency in Petascale Computing Systems
High Performance Computing Systems will have a mix of optical and electrical interconnects as demonstrated by the IBM PERCS (Programmable Easy to Use Reliable Computing Systems) in order to balance energy efficiency, scalability, and performance. In this paper we start with the PERCS design and show how network latency can be reduced by using optical packet switches in the system level intercon...

متن کاملHyperOptics: A High Throughput and Low Latency Multicast Architecture for Datacenters
Multicast has long been a performance bottleneck for data centers. Traditional solutions relying on IP multicast suffer from poor congestion control and loss recovery on the data plane, as well as slow and complex group membership and multicast tree management on the control plane. Some recent proposals have employed alternate optical circuit switched paths to enable lossless multicast and a ce...
