Performance of Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks

Abstract

Optical communication is the fast communication. It provides reliable services than the wired communication. Due to the Advancement in the communication, it has made optical communication a reliable networking choice to meet the increasing demands for high bandwidth for the high-performance applications. So optical networks gives high performance in terms of bandwidth. Although optical MINs hold great promise and have advantages over their electronic networks, they also hold their own challenges. In this the reason of why the optical communication is better for communication applications is given Also it includes the Comparison of different interconnection Networking techniques and the problems of the optical networking. More research has been done on Electronic Multistage Interconnection Networks, (EMINs) but these days optical communication is a good networking choice to meet the increasing demands of high-performance computing communication applications for high bandwidth applications. The electronic Multistage Interconnection Networks (EMINs) and the Optical Multistage Interconnection Networks (OMINs) have many similarities, but there are some fundamental differences between them such as the optical-loss during switching and the crosstalk problem in the optical switches. To reduce the negative effect of crosstalk, various approaches which apply the concept of dilation in either the space or time domain have been proposed. With the space domain approach, extra SEs are used to ensure that at most one input and one output of every SE will be used at any given time. For an Optical network without crosstalk, it is needed to divide the messages into several groups, and then deliver the messages using one time slot (pass) for each group, which is called the time division multiplexing. This thesis discusses the permutation passability behavior of various optical MINs. The bandwidth of optical MINs with or without crosstalk has also been explained. The results thus obtained shows that the performance of the networks improve by allowing limited crosstalk.
