DATA CENTER WITH FREE-SPACE OPTICAL COMMUNICATIONS |
| 摘要 |
A data center for executing a data processing application includes processing units, sub-units or servers. Each of the processing units, sub-units or servers can execute a part or all of the data processing application. The processing units, sub-units or servers are electrical disjoint with respect to data communications, but can communicate with each other over free space optical links. |

1. A data center comprising:
a plurality of data center units (DCUs) disposed in a region, wherein each DCU is configured to run a part or all of a data processing application; an internal network of one or more free space optical communication links to at least a first of the plurality of data center units; a modulator co-disposed with the first of the plurality of data center units in the region, wherein the modulator is configured to modulate a raw light beam and transmit a modulated light beam over the one or more free space optical communication links; and at least one light beam source disposed external to the first of the plurality of data center units and configured to provide the raw light beam to the modulator. |
