Low Latency, Rack Scale Optical Interconnection Network for Data Center Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Warehouse scale datacenters running complex applications involving many servers require low latency interconnects to avoid excessive delays to the user. The SPINet(Scalable Photonic Interconnection Network) architecture can dynamically support ultralow latencies for packetized light loads and high-bandwidth long flows under heavy traffic.

R2C2: A Network Stack for Rack-scale Computers – Public Review
For modern Internet data centers, a key challenge to meeting the immense compute, storage, and networking needs of next-generation applications is the ability of the underlying infrastructure to scale. An important new trend in this direction is the introduction of socalled “rack scale” computers, which are large numbers of tightly integrated systems-on-chip (SoC) processors, interconnected wit...
متن کاملSilicon photonic terabit/s network-on-chip for datacenter interconnection
The demand of fast, reliable, and low-cost optical data links has led to research in developing the next generation of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to improve the power efficiency, latency, and capacity. In past decade, the power required for photonic transmission in data centers and supercomputers has been dramatically reduced in energy per bit. The transmitter size per capacity has bee...
متن کامل"VERNE": New packet-optical network for optically transparent and lossless data centers
Further growth of data centers is asking for scalable, low latency and cost efficient interconnection network inside data centers. In this paper, we propose a new packet-optical network called “VERNE”, aiming to satisfy the above requirements by exploiting all-optical and “lossless” operation (by “lossless” we mean operation without packet collisions during their transport from source to destin...
متن کاملSimple and Cheap Theia: ˇ Networking for Ultra-Dense Data Centers
Recent trends to pack data centers with more CPUs per rack have led to a scenario in which each individual rack may contain hundreds, or even thousands, of compute nodes using system-on-chip (SoC) architectures. At this increased scale, traditional rack-level star topologies with a top-ofrack (ToR) switch as the hub and servers as the leaves are no longer feasible in terms of monetary cost, phy...

Cloud computing and web emerging application has created the need for more powerful data centers with high performance interconnection networks. Current data center networks, based on electronic packet switches, will not be able to satisfy the required communication bandwidth of emerging applications without consuming excessive power. Optical interconnects have gained attention recently as a pr...
