Silicon photonics has become a commonly used paradigm for on-chip interconnects to meet the requirements of higher bandwidth in computationally intensive applications for manycore processors. Design of an optical switch is a vital aspect while constructing an optical NoC topology which influences the performance of network. We present a HoneyComb optimized reconfigurable optical switch (HCROS), a 6 × 6 non-blocking optical switch where optimized reconfiguration of optical links utilizing the states of basic 2 × 2 optical switching elements (OSE) was achieved while keeping the input-output (I/O) interconnection intact. The proposed 6-port HCROS architecture was further optimized to reduce the number of OSEs to minimize overall power consumption. We proposed a generic algorithm to find the optimal switching combination of OSEs for a particular I/O link to minimize the insertion loss and power consumption. In comparison to other non-blocking architectures, a maximum of 66% reduction in OSEs was observed for the optimized HCROS, which consumes only 12 OSEs. Simulations were performed for all 720 I/O links in different configurations to evaluate the power consumption and insertion loss. We observed up to 92% power savings in the case of optimized HCROS as compared to un-optimized HCROS, and a 79% minimization in insertion loss was also reported as a result of optimization.

“…However, 5-port routers don't support cluster Mesh or 3D NoC topologies. Therefore, 6-port routers are suitable in cluster Mesh and 3D NoCs, where additional port is utilized for extra core in cluster Mesh network while this additional port can be employed for vertical link in case of 3D NoC [14,15]. Several architectures and methods are proposed to build non-blocking optical routers/switches with minimum number of optical switching elements [16,17,18,19].…”

Optical networks on chip (ONoC) delivers a promising alternative to meet growing needs of higher bandwidth and low power consumption in manycore processors. Optical routers are the key element in ONoCs that significantly affect the performance of overall network. In this letter, we propose a rearrangeable non-blocking 6 × 6 router (RoR) constructed with 2 × 2 hybrid photonic-plasmonic switching (HPPS) elements. Router architectures with 15 HPPS elements and an optimized design using reduced HPPS elements are presented and analyzed. In optimized form, proposed design consumes only 12 HPPS elements which results in low insertion loss and crosstalk noise in comparison to the unoptimized architecture. We observe up to 50% reduction in switching elements count in comparison to other router architecture of same radix.
