N2 - This paper presents both an architectural design and performance analysis of a multicomputer interconnection network based upon the use of optical technology. The system uses Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) and free space optics to implement a physical ring topology logically configured as a multiring. A novel network and memory interface architecture is proposed to enable the processing nodes to exploit the bandwidth made available by the optical interconnect. The Deficit Round Robin (DRR) protocol is adapted to the ring for media access. A discrete-event simulation model of the interconnect and protocol is used to examine performance issues such as throughput, latency and fairness.
