When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

Feature Issue on Optical Interconnection Networks (OIN) We describe a low-latency, high-
throughput scalable optical interconnect switch for high-performance computer systems that …

One of the most widely used architectures for packet switches is the crossbar. A special
version of it is the buffered crossbar, where small buffers are associated with the crosspoints; …

This paper calls for rethinking packet-switch architectures by cutting all dependencies
between the switch fabric and the linecards. Most single-stage packet-switch architectures …

Three-stage non-blocking switching fabrics are the next step in scaling current crossbar
switches to many hundreds or few thousands of ports. Congestion management, however, is …

This book introduces different interconnection networks applied to different systems.
Interconnection networks are used to communicate processing units in a multi-processor …

Scalability considerations drive the evolution of switch design from output queueing to input
queueing and further to combined input and crosspoint queueing (CICQ). However, CICQ …

We address the problem of how to exploit optics for ultrascale High Performance Computing
interconnect fabrics. We show that for high port counts these fabrics require multistage …

Packet-switch fabrics with widely varying characteristics are currently deployed in the
domains of both communications and computer interconnection networks. For economical …

The scalability and performance of the Internet depends critically on the performance of its
packet switches. Current packet switches are based on single-hop crossbar fabrics, with line …
