Abstract
Novel' architecture of an optoelectronic digital computer for cellular matrix multiplication based on the binary sign-bit number system is p roposed. Such a computer comprises dynamic memories based on circulati on fibre-optic delay lines, which ensures loading of processor element s up to 90%. Owing to the use of cellular logic algorithm in the optoe lectronic computer, it is possible to perform multiplication on matric es of any dimensions employing only one base element. By expanding fun ctional capabilities of the elementary processor, the proposed special ized computer can be transformed into a multipurpose optoelectronic co mputer.
