چکیده

A new interconnection network for massively parallel computing is introduced. This network is called an Optical Multi-Mesh Hypercube (OMMH) network. The OMMH integrates positive features of both hypercube (small diameter, high connectivity, symmetry, simple control and routing, fault tolerance, etc.) and mesh (constant node degree and scalability) topologies and at the same time circumvents their limitations (e.g., the lack of scalability of hypercubes, and the large diameter of meshes). The OMMH can maintain a constant node degree regardless of the increase in the network size. In addition, the flexibility of the OMMH network makes it well suited for optical implementations. This paper presents the OMMH topology, analyzes its architectural properties and potentials for massively parallel computing, and compares it to the hypercube. Moreover, it also presents a three-dimensional optical design methodology based on free-space optics. The proposed optical implementation has totally space-invariant connection patterns at every node, which enables the OMMH to be highly amenable to optical implementation using simple and efficient large space-bandwidth product space-invariant optical elements.

A Scalable Optical Hypercube - based Interconnection Network for Massively Parallel Computing

Two important parameters of a network for massively parallel computers are scalability and modularity. Scalability has two aspects; size and time (or generation). Size-scalability refers to the property that the size of the network can be increased with nominal e ect on the existing con guration. Also, the increase in size is expected to result in a linear increase in performance. Time-scalabil...
