摘 要：With current trends in cloud computing, big data analytics, and the Internet of Things, the need for distributed computation is growing rapidly. One promising solution that modern computers employ is the use of large routers or switches to move data between multiple cores and memories. The goal of our Petabit Switch Fabric capstone project is to explore the design tradeoffs of such network switch architectures in order to scale this mode of communication to much larger magnitudes. We aim to examine the viability of using these designs for a petabit interconnect between large clusters of separate microprocessors and memories.
