Abstract:
Optical switching fabric networks become essential systems in high capacity communication and computing systems. This paper focuses on Data Vortex network architecture with two alternative implementations for improved performance. Either a buffer is added within the routing node or inter cylinder paths are provided for enhanced routing performance. Since the extra hardware required for both implementations are the same, the network with better routing performance provides a better solution. The comparison study has demonstrated that networks with inter cylinder paths provide significantly lower latency and better throughput, therefore this approach provides more effective sharing of the routing resources within the network compared with the node buffering implementation. The difference in performance is also shown to be more significant under higher load conditions and for larger networks.
