Recent advances in integrated photonics enable the implementation of reconfigurable, high-bandwidth, and low energy-per-bit interconnects next-generation data centers. We propose evaluate an Optically Connected Memory (OCM) architecture that disaggregates main memory from computation nodes OCM is based on micro-ring resonators (MRRs), it does not require any modification to DRAM modules. calcul...

Designing and maintaining distributed systems remains highly challenging: there is a high-dimensional design space of potential ways to distribute system’s sub-components over large-scale infrastructure; the deployment environment for system tends change in unforeseen time. For engineers, this complex prediction problem gauge which may best suit given environment. We present concept self-distri...
