AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Scale-out architectures in large systems suffer from back pressure and inefficient utilization of processors due to limited processing capabilities of intermediate buffers, leading to latency issues and suboptimal performance.
Method used
Implementing an optical switch with memory as an intermediate buffer between processors, utilizing high-bandwidth optical memory (HBOM) to offload demanding operations and reduce latency, thereby enhancing data exchange efficiency.
Benefits of technology
The solution doubles data exchange efficiency compared to conventional systems, supports larger systems with hundreds of thousands of nodes, and avoids the limitations of copper-based I/O ports.

Abstract
A system includes: an optical switch module comprising a plurality of high bandwidth optical memory (HBOM) modules optically connected to a photonic integrated circuit comprising an optical switch configured to transmit optical signals between the HBOM modules and a plurality of ports; a plurality of processors each optically connected to at least one port of the optical switch module through a respective fiber connection; and a control module programmed to control data routing between the plurality of processors via the optical switch module, wherein the data routing comprises buffering data routed from a first processor of the plurality of processors to a second processor of the plurality of processors on one or more of the HBOM modules.
