Article Excerpt:

A US start-up has developed a photonic fabric for the data centre that pulls together the hardware needed for a computational task.

Drut Technologies offers management software and a custom line card, which, when coupled with the optical switch, grabs the hardware required for the workload.

Some of the Drut team (L to R): Sumit Jayaswal, member of technical staff; Bill Koss, CEO; and Jitender Miglani, founder and president.

“You can have a server with lots of resource machines: lots of graphic processing units (GPUs) and lots of memory,” says Bill Koss, CEO of Drut. “You create a machine, attach a workload to it and run it; forever, for a day, or 15 minutes.”

Drut first showcased its technology supporting the PCI Express (PCIe) bus over photonics at server specialist, SuperMicro’s exhibition stand, at the Supercomputing 22 show held last November in Dallas, Texas.

“This is a fully reconfigurable, direct-connect optical fabric for the data centre,” says Koss.
