Methods and techniques for optical circuit switching

Abstract

Described herein are systems and methods for leveraging Optical Circuit Switching (OCS) to dynamically route connections in an optoelectronic system. The OCS may be used to dynamically route connections away from faulty hardware and to maximize usage of the remaining functioning hardware. The OCS may be used to dynamically distribute bandwidth in a distributed network and / or systems employing disaggregated memory.
