Abstract
Data locality constraints are alleviated by a data processing system and method of reorganizing data. Multiple electronic components are configured to modulate a light beam on a shared photonic interconnect and to detect the data according to a global schedule to reorganize data across the multiple electronic components. By constructing data transfer patterns in a shared photonic interconnect, rather than in dedicated reorganization hardware, data is reorganized while in transit, greatly accelerating the reorganization of data, and reducing the amount of power-consuming hardware necessary to achieve the task.
