The switching speeds of electronics cannot keep up with the transmission capacity offered
by optics. All-optical switch fabrics play a central role in the effort to migrate the switching …

Energy consumption of large-scale networks has become a primary concern in a society
increasingly dependent on information technology. Novel solutions that contribute to …

This paper describes a scalable, low-complexity alternative to the conventional load/store
queue (LSQ) for superscalar processors that execute load and store instructions …

Two architectures are proposed for a wavelength-division multiplexed optical packet switch
equipped with both limited-range wavelength converters (LRWCs) and shared full-range …

This paper compares selected optical packet switching architectures that use the
wavelength conversion technique to solve the packet contention problem. The architectures …

In this letter, we introduce an analytical model which enables us to evaluate the performance
of a bufferless optical packet switch equipped with limited-range wavelength converters …

This paper explores the scheduling problem of input-queued switches, based on a new
algebraic method of edge coloring called complex coloring. The proposed scheduling …

All optical communication is attracting more and more attention because of the huge
bandwidth of optics. In this paper, we study the performance of bufferless optical wavelength …

Feature Issue on Optical Interconnection Networks (OIN) In the design of an optical-packet-
switching network, several policy decisions must be made and network parameters must be …

Optical communication is a promising candidate for many emerging networking and
parallel/distributed computing applications because of its huge bandwidth. Wavelength …
