Hierarchical and reconfigurable optical/electrical interconnection network for high-performance computing

Compared with electrical packet switches, optical switching technology could enable a more desirable high-performance computing (HPC) system with lower power consumption, lower delay, higher bandwidth, and more flexibility. In this article, we designed a hierarchical and reconfigurable optical/electrical HPC interconnection network. The traffic matrix of the target task can be decomposed into multiple matrix groups that are executed in parallel,...
