Benefits of Employing Reconfigurable and Hybrid Interconnection Network for HPC System

We analyze benefits of a novel reconfigurable optical and electrical hybrid network for HPC system performances over different traffic patterns, and the proposed network architecture can bring up to 2.5x reduction of task completion time.
