Abstract: Software-Defined Network Accelerator (sDNA) is a new accelerated system for the exascale computer. Inspired by the edge forwarding index (EFI), the main contribution of our work is that it presents an extended EFI-based optical interconnection method with slow switching optical device. In our work, we found that sDNA based on extended EFI evaluation is not only able to offload the traffic from an electrical link to an optical link but is also able to avoid congestion inherent to electrical link.
