This Tutorial will discuss the motivation, benefits, and challenges of photonic switching in
data centers and cover prospects of future data centers involving emerging new …

The increasing gap between the growth of datacenter traffic and electrical switch capacity is
expected to worsen due to the slowdown of Moore's law, motivating the need for a new …

Electrical switching based data center networks have an intrinsic bandwidth bottleneck and,
require inefficient and power-consuming multi-tier switching layers to cope with the rapid …

We propose TopoOpt, a novel direct-connect fabric for deep neural network (DNN) training
workloads. TopoOpt co-optimizes the distributed training process across three dimensions …

Due to the slowdown of Moore's law, it will become increasingly challenging to efficiently
scale the network in current data centers utilizing electrical packet switches as data rates …

Disaggregated racks comprise a dense cluster of separate pools of compute, memory and
storage blades, all inter-connected through an internal network within a single rack …

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

The rapid growth in the amount of data being transferred within data centres, combined with
the slowdown in Moore's Law, creates challenges for the future scalability of electronically …

Recent advances in fast optical switching technology show promise in meeting the high
goodput and low latency requirements of datacenter networks (DCN). We present …

Wavelength routed optical switching promises low power and latency networking for data
