On contention resolution in the data vortex optical interconnection network
نویسندگان
چکیده
Alternative contention resolution techniques are studied in the data vortex interconnection network, namely, the insertion of fiber-delay-line (FDL) buffers into the switching nodes. The performance of each technique is evaluated according to relevant performance metrics: acceptance rate, mean latency, and latency variance. A detailed discussion concludes that while traditional data vortex networks perform better in terms of throughput, FDL-based switching nodes have a favorable impact in reducing the system latency. © 2007 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: 060.0060, 060.4250.

We demonstrate the feasibility of the data vortex interconnection network architecture for use in supercomputing by emulating realistic network traffic on an eight-node subnetwork. The evaluation workload uses memory accesses from the Barnes–Hut application in the SLPASH-2 parallel computing benchmark suite, which was extracted by using the M5 multiprocessor system simulator. We confirm that tr...
