β¦ Synopsis
We present an Optical Interface Message Processor (OPTIMP) that exploits the high bandwidth, parallelism, multidimensional capability, and high storage density offered by optics. Switching and routing functions are performed in the optical domain and thus OPTIMP does not suffer from the optical/electronic conversion bottleneck associated with current fiber optics networks. The source-destination (SD) information from a message is first converted to the spatial domain. The routing table stores all SD codes and the corresponding control codes for setting the switching network. The routing table is searched in parallel and control signals corresponding to the matched SD code are readout to configure the network. The optical implementation is based on S-SEED array technology. The power requirements and performance of OPTIMP based on the current technology are analyzed. O 1993 Academic Press. Inc.

The reconfigurable array with slotted optical buses (RASOB) has recently received a lot of attention from the research community. In this paper, we first discuss the reconfiguration methods and communication capabilities of the RASOB architecture. Then, we use this architecture for the implementatio
We describe the design of a high-performance chipset for computing 1-D complex fast Fourier transforms (FFT). Our chip technology is based on flip-chip integration of submicrometer CMOS ICs with GaAs chips containing 2-D arrays of multiple-quantum wells (MQW) diode optical receivers and transmitters
