Abstract :
High-bandwidth connectivity provided by WDM optical interconnects is an important enabler for delocalized hardware accelerators in utility computing. We validate a proposed architecture with an experiment that leverages optical interconnects to demonstrate error free (BER<;10e-12) active switching and multicasting of FPGA generated and received packets.
