Reliability Evaluation of Optical Shuffle-Exchange Network System
Multistage Interconnection Networks (MINs) have been extensively accepted as an interconnecting scheme for parallel computing systems. As optical technology advances, there is considerable interest in using optical technology to implement interconnection networks and switches. Recent improvements in the optical interconnection technology allow creation of interconnection networks that are larger, faster, and more power efficient than ever before. Advances in this area have made optical communication a promising networking choice to meet the increasing demands of high performance computing/communication applications for high channel bandwidth and low communication latency. In this paper, characteristics and limitations of optical MINs will be discussed. Then, an implementation of optical MIN for Shuffle-Exchange Network (SEN) system will be presented. SEN has been widely considered as a practical interconnection system due to the size of its switching elements and uncomplicated configuration. Finally, the reliability evaluation of SEN will be demonstrated through a numerical example.
