متن کاملPhotonic Network Vision 2020
A vision of photonic network in 2020 is presented, which envisages “smart photonic cloud” in the Big Data era. The smart photonic cloud is referred to as an atmosphere which serves as a universal infrastructure, providing with connectivities to machine-to-machine communications such as networked high-performance computing and intraand inter data center networks. To cope with strong demands for ...
متن کاملCloud-Scale Data Center Network Architecture
Cloud-scale data center network imposed unique requirements that are different from the tradition network architecture, which is based on a combination of Layer 2 Ethernet switches and Layer 3 routers. The state-of-the-art shows that the Layer 3 and Layer 2 model today brings significant configuration overhead and fails to meet some critical requirements of virtualized data center. As Ethernet ...
متن کاملSilicon photonic terabit/s network-on-chip for datacenter interconnection
The demand of fast, reliable, and low-cost optical data links has led to research in developing the next generation of photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to improve the power efficiency, latency, and capacity. In past decade, the power required for photonic transmission in data centers and supercomputers has been dramatically reduced in energy per bit. The transmitter size per capacity has bee...
