WDMJTDM Optical Packet Switched Network for Supercomputing
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new optical packet switching network and its enabling technologies are investigated for implementation in a Petaflops scale supercomputer system. We capitalize on the immense bandwidth of the optical fiber interconnects by deploying WDM/TDM packet payloads. To accommodate current optical switching technologies, the routing operations in the network are drastically simplified and the need for buffering is completely eliminated. This paper presents the experimental demonstration of the routing within the unique packet switched architecture. Multiple node hops are demonstrated in a node test-bed environment with a re-circulating loop configuration.

متن کاملYour Data Center Is a Router: The Case for Reconfigurable Optical Circuit Switched Paths
The rising tide of data-intensive, massive scale cluster computing is creating new challenges for traditional, hierarchical data center networks. In response to this challenge, the research community has begun exploring novel interconnect topologies to provide high bisection bandwidth—examples include Fat trees [2, 12, 8], DCell [9], and BCube [10], among a rapidly growing set of alternatives, ...
متن کاملUpgrading a Nationwide, Fiber-Based, Electronic Packet-Switched Network
We develop algorithms for the design of optical packet-switched networks. These algorithms are aimed at upgrading an existing ber-based, network infrastructure, such as the NSFNET backbone, by using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) technology. The network architecture employs wavelength-routing optical switches which enable the establishment of all-optical, WDM channels, called lightpaths...
متن کاملOptical Transparency and Optical Opacityin Future All-optical Packet Switched Network
"Transparent network" and "all-optical network" are not synonyms. Optical transparency has to be sacrificed in optical logic elements. The paper presents author’s original view on future (all) optical packet-switched network which is based on a clear distinction within dual nature of optical signals: analogue and transparent features of the signal in optical frequency domain from one side, and ...
