Abstract:
A reconfigurable free-space optical inter-rack network includes a plurality of server racks, each including at least one switch mounted on a top thereof, where each top mounted switch includes a plurality of free-space-optic link connector, each with a free-space optical connection to a free-space-optic link connector on another top-mounted switch, a single ceiling mirror above the plurality of server racks that substantially covers the plurality of server racks, wherein the single ceiling mirror redirects optical connections between pairs of free-space-optic link connectors to provide a clear lines-of-sight between each pair of connected free-space-optic link connectors, and a controller that preconfigures a free-space optical network connecting the plurality of server racks by establishing connections between pairs of free-space-optic link connectors, and that reconfigures connections between pairs of free-space-optic link connectors in response to network traffic demands and events.

Claim (Index 17):
The network of  claim 16 , wherein the controller preconfigures an orientation of each GM by generating a random simple graph over racks with a maximum possible number of assigned links,\n determining locations of towers on the server racks by selecting a location that is ranked based on a total number of already placed towers that are visible from a location under consideration, while ensuring that only a given number of towers are placed on any particular rack, placing switches on the towers at evenly spaced intervals, and independently orienting each GM by prioritizing the GMs, and orienting the GMs one at a time in priority order, wherein each GM is oriented to cover a maximum number of server racks.
