Abstract

A free-space optical interconnection scheme is described for massively parallel processors based on the interconnection-cached network architecture. The optical network operates in a circuit-switching mode. Combined with a packet-switching operation among the circuit-switched optical channels, a high-bandwidth, low-latency network for massively parallel processing results. The design and assembly of a 64-channel experimental prototype is discussed, and operational results are presented.

摘要

本文描述了一种基于互连缓存网络架构的大规模并行处理器的自由空间光互连方案。该光网络以电路交换模式运行。结合电路交换光通道之间的分组交换操作，形成了一个用于大规模并行处理的高带宽、低延迟网络。讨论了一个64通道实验原型的设计与组装，并给出了运行结果。
