It's possible and it's what you should be doing. "sbctl" ( https://github.com/Foxboron/sbctl ) AFAIK has a reasonable frontend for doing that on Linux (don't know, I did it manually). You have

Yes, IB hasn't died… yet. But the writing's probably on the wall with Ultra Ethernet; the corporate development of Mellanox (now nVidia) is not a great sign either. (Also you don't use IB for 1800km WAN links.) FWIW I a

It's impossible for this to interoperate with "normal" fiber, this is "coupled-core" fiber: the cores don't operate independently and a MIMO style setup like the paper describes is really the only thing you can

Used, maybe, but [citation needed]. Built, no, definitely not voluntarily¹, Ethernet is the only non-legacy thing surviving for new installations for anything more than short range (few kilometer) runs. InfiniBand, CPRI and SDI are dying t

I think the scaling parameters are a bit different here since the primary concern is the DSP power processing and correlating for MIMO 19 signals simultaneously. But the 16W figure for a 120km 400Gbps module includes a high-powered¹ tran

Worse, it's offline MIMO processing! ;D I would guesstimate that if you try to run it live, the receiver [or rather its DSPs] would consume >100W of power, maybe even >1000W. (These things evolve & improve though.) (Also, a

You're confusing multi-core in a single cladding with multiple strands of cladding. This is 19 cores in a single cladded 125µm (which is quite impressive manufacturing from Sumitomo).

by eqvinox 1y ago
Contrary to the "highlights" section (which seems to be the only place calling it a "standard" 19-core optical fiber), this is not in fact a 'standard' fiber, rather the origin seems to be the standard (125µm)

It should be noted these distinctions don't correlate with timing; you can have a hard realtime system that needs some network packets at 50ms±10ms intervals, and a soft realtime system that needs packets at 500µs±5µs. Some audio setup

Of course a tiny microkernel code base won't have NFS bugs. It doesn't implement NFS. The bug will instead be in the NFS process/daemon/service/… which considering it's an fs service won't exactly be unpri

No, Google Docs solved a different problem at the right layer. Their solution isn't transferable to other specific problems that may currently be approached using networked file systems, let alone the generic case.
