The design of an electro-optic control interface for photonic packet switching applications with contention resolution capabilities

Van der Merwe, Jacobus Stefanus 05 November 2007 (has links)
The objective of the research is to design an electro-optic control for the Active Vertical Coupler-based Optical Cross-point Switch (OXS). The electronic control should be implemented on Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and therefore the design will include the PCB design as well. The aim of the electronic control board is to process the headers of the packets prior to entering the OXS to be switched and from the information in the headers, determine the state that the OXS should be configured in. It should then configure the optical cross-point accordingly. The electronic control board should show flexibility in the sense that it can handle different types of traffic and resolve possible contention that may occur. The research seeks to understand the problems associated with Photonic Packet Switching (PPS) networks. Two of the main problems identified in a PPS network are contention resolution and the lack of variable delays for storing optical packets. The OXS was analyzed and found to meet the requirements for future ultra-high speed PPS network technology with its high extinction ratio, wide optical bandwidth, ultra-fast switching speed and low crosstalk levels. Photonic packets were generated with 4-bit, 8-bit or 16-bit headers at a bit rate of 155 Mbit/s followed by a PRBS (Pseudo Random Bit Sequence) payload at 10 Gbit/s. Different scenarios were created with these types of packets and the electro-optic control and OXS were subjected to these scenarios with the aim of testing the flexibility of the electro-optic control to control the OXS. These scenarios include: <ul><li>Fixed length packets arriving synchronously at one input of the OXS. Some packets are destined for output 1, some are destined for output 2 and some are destined for output 3, therefore realizing a 1-to-3 optical switch.</li> <li>Eight variable length packets arriving synchronously at the OXS at one input, all of them destined for one output. The electro-optic control should open the switch cell for the correct amount of time.</li> <li>Three variable length packets arriving synchronously and asynchronously at one input of the OXS. Some packets are destined for output 1 while other packets are destined for output 2. The electro-optic control should open the correct switch cell for the correct amount of time.</li> <li>Two fixed length packets arriving at the OXS synchronously on different input ports at the same time, both destined for the same output port. The electro-optic control should detect the contention and switch the packets in such a way as to resolve the contention.</li> The electro-optic control and OXS managed to switch all these types of data traffic (scenarios) successfully and resolve the contention with an optical delay buffer. The success of the results was measured in two ways. Firstly it was deemed successful if the expected output sequence was measured at the corresponding output ports. Secondly it was successful if the degradation in quality of the packet was not drastic, meaning the output packets should have an BER (Bit Error Rate) of less than 10-9. The quality of the packets was measured in the form of eye diagrams before and after the switching and then compared. The research resulted in the design and implementation of a flexible electro-optic control for the OXS. The problem of contention was resolved for fixed length synchronous packets and a proposal is discussed to store packets for variable lengths of time by using the OXS. This electro-optic control has the potential to control the OXS for traffic with higher complexities and make the OXS compatible with future developments. / Dissertation (MEng (Electronic Engineering))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Electrical, Electronic and Computer Engineering / MEng / unrestricted

Video Game Network Analysis : A Study on Tooling Design / Nätverksanalys för Videospel : En Studie om Verktygsdesign

Eksi, Murat, Pihl, Markus January 2020 (has links)
Crackshell is an indie game studio situated in Stockholm. They released particular iterations of a game called Hammerwatch, which is developed with their in-house game engine and they are still working to extend both the Hammerwatch and the game engine. Hammerwatch is a rogue-like multiplayer game played by up to four players in a single session by using peer to-peer network topology. These days, Hammerwatch has gotten significantly popular and the planned features have led the team to question of whether their network utilization is performant and in what ways they can improve this utilization. Even though they the are ones who implemented the network part of Hammerwatch, they don’t exactly have an understanding of the underlying behavior of the utilization, nor they have any way to analyze it currently. This project is aimed to design and implement a proper tooling implementation for their data analysis needs by identifying the network topology, datastructures, extraction, storage and providing an environment that is easy to analyze the network utilization. In order to achieve this aim, an iterative approach through design thinking has been conducted with Crackshell. In this regard, there were certain decisions to be made in accordance with the constraints and the purpose of the tooling, which is defined with the help of Crackshell by the conducted workshops as a module of the design thinking approach. The above-mentioned strategy allowed a swift understanding of the problemthat led the tooling to be approved as both helpful and easy-to-use by Crackshell. The data analysis tool was implemented by using a local data extraction solution, MongoDB and Jupyter Notebook in Python together with extensions that helped further with the analysis of the collected data. The results of the data analysis deemed itself as a significant success, where problems such as the game events being sent unnecessarily frequently, stale data issues, caching opportunities, and potential data clustering issues in network packets were pointed out. Crackshell was happy with the provided ability to look at their network utilization in a detailed manner, which led them to use the implemented tooling for further analysis as Hammerwatch is kept developing. / Crackshell är en indie-spelstudio belägen i Stockholm. De har släppt ett antal spel som heter Hammerwatch, vilket är utvecklat med sin egen spelmotor. Hammerwatch och dess spelmotor utvecklas fortfarande kontinuerligt. Det är ett rogue-liknande multiplayer-spel som spelas av upp till fyra spelare i en enda session med hjälp av peer-to-peer-nätverkstopologi. Hammerwatch blev snabbt populärt och de planerade funktionerna har lett teamet till en fråga om deras nätverksanvändning är effektiv ur prestandasynpunkt och på vilka sätt de kan förbättra den. Även om det är de som implementerade nätverksdelen av Hammerwatch, har de inte exakt en förståelse för det underliggande beteendet hos nätverkskommunikationen, och de har inte heller något sätt att analysera det för närvarande.Detta projekt syftade till att utforma och implementera verktyg för att dataanalys genom att identifiera nätverkstopologi, datastrukturer, extraktion, lagring och tillhandahålla en miljö som gör det lätt att analysera nätverksanvändningen. För att uppnå detta mål valdes en iterativ metod baserad på “design thinking” denna genomfördes tillsammans med Crackshell. Under designfasen fattades beslut kring begränsningar och syfte med verktyget.Ovan nämnda strategi möjliggjorde en snabb förståelse av problemet som ledde till utvecklandet av ett verktyg som både godkänts som användbart och lätt att använda av Crackshell. Dataanalysverktyget implementerades med hjälp av en lokal lösning för utvinning av data, MongoDB och Jupyter Notebook i Python tillsammans med tillägg som hjälpte till vidare med analysen av insamlade data.Resultaten av dataanalysen löste in sig som en betydande framgång, där problem som spelhändelser som skickades onödigt ofta, data som var gammal när den nådde fram, cachemöjligheter och potentiella problem med datakluster i nätverkspaket kunde hittas. Crackshell var nöjd med resultatet och nya förmågan att titta på deras nätverksanvändning på ett detaljerat sätt. De kommer kunna använda det utvecklade verktyget till framtida analyser vid fortsatt vidareutveckling av spelmotorn.

Étude du rayonnement acoustique d'instabilités hydrodynamiques de jets double-flux par les équations de stabilité parabolisées (PSE) / Acoustics of hydrodynamic instabilities in dual-stream jets using parabolized stability equations (PSE)

Léon, Olivier 19 October 2012 (has links)
Dans le but de réduire le bruit de jet, source principale de nuisance sonore au décollage d'un avion, une compréhension fine des mécanismes aéroacoustiques mis en jeu est nécessaire. Les structures cohérentes de grande échelle se développant dans la couche de mélange d'un jet semblent responsables d'une part importante du bruit observé en champ lointain, surtout dans les basses fréquences. Une approche permettant d'étudier ces structures turbulentes est fournie par la théorie de stabilité, notamment au moyen des équations de stabilité parabolisées (PSE). L'étude de ces ondes d'instabilité est alors complémentaire d'autres approches (LES ou expériences), puisqu'elle permet de mettre en évidence la nature et la dynamique de ces structures, également présentes dans les résultats de simulations ou de mesures.Au cours de ces travaux de thèse, nous nous sommes intéressés aux structures cohérentes se développant dans des jets à double flux étudiés au cours du projet européen CoJeN (Coaxial Jet Noise). En particulier, nous avons exploité une base de données issues de mesures de fluctuations de pression réalisées en champ proche et en champ lointain de ces jets. Nous avons alors pu comparer les résultats de notre modélisation PSE à ces mesures en périphérie immédiate du jet, confirmant ainsi la pertinence d’un tel modèle, même dans des configurations aussi complexes. De plus, le calcul du rayonnement acoustique en champ lointain engendré par les fluctuations de pression modélisées nous a permis de faire des comparaisons directes avec les niveaux et les directivités mesurés. Nous avons ainsi pu mettre en évidence quantitativement la contribution de ces structures turbulentes de grande échelle au bruit total rayonné par le jet. / Increasingly stringent aircraft noise regulations require the development of innovative noise reduction strategies. Jet noise is a dominant acoustic component during take-off and a fine understanding of the underlying aeroacoustics mechanisms is then necessary. Large-scale coherent structures that develop in the mixing layer of jets appear to be the dominant acoustic source responsible for the lowfrequency far-field noise observed at low emission angles. A stability analysis based on the parabolized stability equations (PSE) is a suitable tool for studying these coherent structures, revealing the nature and the dynamics of the fluctuations obtained by simulations or experiments. The present work is focused on coherent structures developing in the two mixing layers of dualstream jets studied in the course of the European project CoJeN (Coaxial Jet Noise). In particular, pressure fluctuations measurements acquired in the near and far fields of two coaxial jets have been thoroughly analyzed. A direct comparison of these experimental results with linear PSE calculations has been performed in the vicinity of the jets, referred to as the linear-hydrodynamic region, confirming the relevance of the approach even in such complex industrial configurations. Furthermore, the acoustic projection to the far-field of the wavepackets issued by this model and calibrated in the near-field allows a direct comparison of the acoustic levels and directivity with far field sound measurements. A quantitative assessment of the contribution of the instability waves to the total jet noise measured has therefore been obtained.

Programmable ultrashort highly localized wave packets

Bock, Martin 01 October 2013 (has links)
Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Konzept der radial nicht-oszillierenden, zeitlich stabilen ultrakurzen Bessel ähnlichen Strahlen oder "Nadelstrahlen" ("needle beams"), die zu einer Klasse von optischen hochlokalisierten Wellenpaketen generalisiert werden. Hierbei wird die Theorie über das räumlich-zeitlichen Ausbreitungsverhaltens von nicht auseinanderdriftenden Nadelstrahlen mit Pulsdauern von kleiner als 10 fs näher diskutiert. Dies wird durch eine systematische Darstellung der Methoden zur Generierung und Detektierung von lokalisierten Wellen komplettiert, die ein optischen Drehmoment tragen. Für die Erzeugung von HLWs kommen räumliche Lichtmodulatoren zum Einsatz, die ein flexibles Zuschneiden von Wellenpaketen mit der Dauer weniger Zyklen des EM-Feldes erlauben. Es wird gezeigt, dass solche optischen Pulse sich über beträchtliche Entfernungen ausbreiten, ohne dass sich dabei signifikant der Strahldurchmesser vergrößert oder der Puls zeitlich verbreitert. In variabler Weise werden verschiedene geometrische (z.B. ringförmige) Lichtverteilungen erzeugt. Anwendungspotential findet sich insbesondere in den Techniken der räumlichen Pulsformung und Diagnostik. Als besonders wichtiger Ansatz ist der Zeit-Wellenfront-Sensor zu erwähnen, welcher die nichtlineare, mehrkanalige Autokorrelation, die Wellenfrontdetektion mittels nichtdiffraktiver Teilstrahlen nach dem Shack-Hartmann-Prinzip und eine adaptive Funktionalität miteinander vorteilhaft verbindet. Das enorme Potential solcher Ansätze wird durch die hohe Genauigkeit orts-, winkel- und zeitabhängiger Rekonstruktionen der Wellenpakete nachgewiesen. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht das räumliche Kodieren und anschließende Verfolgen der Teilstrahlen eine wesentliche Verbesserung der Identifikation relevanter Parameter von Verteilungsfunktionen. Schließlich werden erste Schritte zur experimentellen Generation von optischen "light bullets" mit ganzzahligen und fraktalen orbitalen Drehmomenten präsentiert. / This thesis deals with the concept of radially non-oscillating, temporally stable ultrashort-pulsed Bessel-like beams or "needle pulses", which are an example of a highly localized wave packet (HLW). HLWs are the closest approximation of linear-optical light bullets and provide specific benefits compared to conventional Gaussian-like light bullets. The spatio-temporally nonspreading propagation behavior of few-cycle needle beams of less than 10 fs duration will be theoretically discussed in detail. An overview of the generation and detection of localized waves carrying an orbital angular momentum is also given. High fidelity spatial light modulators are used for the generation of HLWs. The flexible tailoring of few-cycle wave packets at near-infrared wavelengths is reported. It is shown that such pulses propagate over a huge depth of focus, neither significantly changing their spot size or nor the pulse duration. Variable geometrical distributions like circular disks, rings, or bars of light are shaped and exploited as building blocks for structures of higher complexity. Another section of the thesis emphasizes the numerous potential applications of related techniques for an optimized two-dimensional spatial pulse shaping and diagnostics (reduce ambiguities) based on localized waves. As a particularly important example, time-wavefront sensing is used to combine nonlinear multichannel autocorrelation with Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensing by means of localized sub-beams and adaptive functionality. The capabilities of such devices are illustrated by the results of angular and temporal mapping of few-cycle wave packets. Moreover, spatial encoding and subsequent tracking of individual sub-beams, even at incident angles of up to 50°, enables to significantly improve the spot recognition. Finally, first steps towards the generation of optical light bullets carrying integer or non-integer orbital angular momenta are presented.
