摘要：The advancement in the optical technology have drawn the idea ofoptical implementation of MINs as an important optical switchingtopology to meet the ever increasing demands of highperformance computing communication applications for highchannel bandwidth and low communication latency. However,dealing with electro-optic switches instead of electronic switchesheld its own challenges introduced by optics itself. Limited by theproperties of optical signals, optical MINs (OMINs) introduceoptical crosstalk, as a result of coupling two signals within eachswitching element. Therefore, it is not possible to route more thanone message simultaneously, without optical crosstalk, over aswitching element in an OMIN. Reducing the effect of opticalcrosstalk has been a challenging issue considering trade-offsbetween performance and hardware and software complexity. Tosolve optical crosstalk, many scheduling algorithms have beenproposed for routing in OMIN based on a solution called the timedomain approach.
