Dynamic Power Considerations in a Complete 12 x 12 Optical Packet Switching Network

Overview High-performance computing systems require interconnection networks with extremely high throughput and low latency in order to route messages between thousands of processor and memory elements. Optical Packet Switching (OPS) fabrics offer a potentially viable solution to this requirement, owing to the ability of fiber-optic components and systems to carry many terabits/second of encoded optical data while maintaining near speed-of-light limited transit latencies. The realization of a complete 12-port OPS interconnection network, which contains 36 discrete switching nodes and is based upon the data vortex topology, was recently reported. The implemented architecture takes full advantage of the optical bandwidth of conventional fiber-optic components by utilizing a multiple-wavelength packet format.
