Crosslayer Design and Modeling of Silicon Photonic Interconnects

This research involves in developing an open-source simulation package to achieve an appropriate level of accuracy for designing the photonic interconnection networks, and to reduce the execution time of applications while maintaining or reducing power consumption of the high performance computing systems. This work also addresses the advantages of photonic interconnection networks at the scale of high performance computer clusters and warehouse scale data centers, with experimental efforts involved on photonic integrated device testing and system packaging.
