PULSE: Scalable Sub-microsecond WDM-TDM Circuit Switched Data Center Network

Abstract

 

We propose an OCS data center network and control system that uses distributed hardware schedulers to reconfigure circuits every 40ns. The network is scale-resilient to 8192 servers, achieving >92% sustained throughput, with low median (120ns) and tail (6.6 microsecond) latencies, while consuming 415 pJ/bit.
