Title

Conflict-free channel assignment for an optical cluster-based shuffle network configuration

Abstract

A passive optical realization of large expandable shujle networks is considered, where the general (p, k) shuflefunction interconnects star-coupled clusters of time andlor wavelength multiplexed nodes. This configuration enables network partitioning into independent subnetworks that can emulate various indirect cube topologies on a virtual point-to-point basis. Node transmitters are assigned channels and reconfiguring the partition andlor the individual sub-network topologies is achieved by monitoring the appropriate channels. The considered network configuration can function as a general-purpose optical interconnect for a variety of heterogeneous trafic sources, such as multicomputers and ATM network interface units, communicating independently within logically dejined subnetworks. The paper derives a conflict-free channel partition and assignment map for a general (p, k] cluster shufle using a minimal number of channel sets.
