Abstract
The present invention proposes a hybrid optical/electrical network architecture for the direct-connect datacenters and HPC systems. It utilizes small scale optical switches in parallel with the electrical switching modules (e.g. the multi-port NIC) in the direct-connect electrical network (e.g 3D Torus) in order to provide optical bypassing capabilities. The optical network keeps the same topology as the electrical packet switching network, while the number of optical nodes can be equal or less than the electrical switching modules.
