چکیده
Wavelength-Division Multiplexing Michael Borella, Biswanath Mukherjee, Feiling Jia, S. Ramamurthy, Dhritiman Banerjee, and Jason Iness Department of Computer Science, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 Abstract Multiprocessor architectures based on optical interconnects employing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) are considered. WDM is a technique used to divide the tremendous bandwidth of a single strand of ber into many non-interfering wavelengths. System components (processing, memory, and/or I/O elements) can use these wavelengths as communication channels. In this paper, we present the background needed to understand WDM architecture, outline several categories of single-hop communication protocols, and show how a multihop WDM-based multiprocessor can recon gure itself to any virtual topology.

ÐA class of highly scalable interconnect topologies called the Scalable Optical Crossbar-Connected Interconnection Networks (SOCNs) is proposed. This proposed class of networks combines the use of tunable Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSEL's), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) and a scalable, hierarchical network architecture to implement large-scale optical crossbar based netw...

The application of well-known concepts from the telecommunications industry to optical interconnects is common; however, significant modifications of the typical approaches may be required to keep costs low. We suggest such an approach by demonstrating the operation of a multiple channel chip-to-chip wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) interconnect through a single fiber using GaAs diodes fli...
