A Vectorised Packing Algorithm for Efficient Generation of Custom Traffic Matrices

Christoper W. F. Parsonson, Joshua L. Benjamin, Georgios Zervas

We propose a new algorithm for generating custom network traffic matrices which achieves 13x, 38x, and 70x faster generation times than prior work on networks with 64, 256, and 102…

RAMP: A Flat Nanosecond Optical Network and MPI Operations for Distributed Deep Learning Systems

Alessandro Ottino, Joshua Benjamin, Georgios Zervas

Distributed deep learning (DDL) systems strongly depend on network performance. Current electronic packet switched (EPS) network architectures and technologies suffer from variable…

Packet Timescale Wavelength Switching Enabled by Regression Optimisation

Thomas Gerard, Hubert Dzieciol, Joshua Benjamin +5

A linear regression algorithm is applied to a digital-supermode distributed Bragg reflector laser to optimise wavelength switching times. The algorithm uses the output of a digital…

PULSE: Optical circuit switched Data Center architecture operating at nanosecond timescales

Joshua L. Benjamin, Thomas Gerard, Domaniç Lavery +2

We introduce PULSE, a sub-microsecond optical circuit-switched data centre network architecture controlled by distributed hardware schedulers. PULSE is a flat architecture that use…
