项目摘要

This six-month project investigates cost-effective approaches in scaling the interconnection network of largecomputing platforms such as data centers supporting the internet. The demand for larger data interconnectivitybetween servers with low latency is pushing further innovation exploiting the aggregated bandwidth offered byoptical technologies. Through recent development in photonic integration, specifically silicon photonics, moreefficient optical switch matrices are seen as an important and potentially disruptive solution. The challengesremain in addressing their inherent propagation loss. The project investigates the prospect of integrating opticalamplifications onto a Silicon-on-Insulator integrated photonic switches for data centers interconnectivity. Theproject is in collaboration with an Ottawa-based startup, Rockport Networks Inc. The researchers at McGillwill leverage their significant contributions made in the last five years in the area of photonic integrated circuitsand switches to define an approach to integrate semiconductor optical amplifiers in a practical andcost-effective way. The benefits of this industrial collaboration is the assessment of a feasible solution for theirnetwork control solutions which will be further explored through a longer-term research program.

这个为期六个月的项目研究了扩展大型计算平台（如支持互联网的数据中心）互连网络的成本效益方法。对服务器之间低延迟的更大数据互连的需求正在推动利用光学技术提供的聚合带宽的进一步创新。通过最近的发展，在光子集成，特别是硅光子学，更有效的光开关矩阵被视为一个重要的和潜在的破坏性的解决方案。挑战仍然存在于解决其固有的传播损耗。该项目研究了将光放大集成到用于数据中心互连的绝缘体上硅集成光子交换机上的前景。该项目是与渥太华的创业公司Rockport Networks Inc.合作的。McGill的研究人员将利用他们在过去五年中在光子集成电路和交换机领域做出的重大贡献，以确定一种以实用和成本效益的方式集成半导体光放大器的方法。这种工业合作的好处是为他们的网络控制解决方案评估一个可行的解决方案，这将通过一个长期的研究计划进一步探索。
