Abstract
Examples herein include a computer system and methods. Some computer systems comprise two or more devices (each device comprises at least one processing circuit), where each computing device comprises or is communicatively coupled to one or more optical network interface controller (O-NIC) cards. Each O-NIC card comprises at least two bidirectional optical channels to transmit data and to receive additional data from each O-NIC card communicatively coupled to a device, over a channel. The system also includes one or more interfaces and a memory. Program instructions execute a method on one or more processors in communication with a memory, and the method includes modifying, during runtime of at least one application, a pairing over a given bidirectional optical channel of an interface of the interfaces to a given device.
