Abstract:
Many applications require low-latency interconnects. In this talk, the speaker will present two works on how to build low-latency optical networks. At first, a metro-access converged network is introduced where data can be transmitted without extra processing time by leveraging transparent connections. This architecture achieves low end-to-end latency. Then the speaker will introduce a fast-reconfigurable optical interconnect architecture applied in HPC (High-Performance Computing). HPC demands extremely low-latency data transmission and various applications running in HPC show different traffic patterns. The proposed optical interconnect could change its topology quickly according to different traffic patterns.
