B. Hoanca et Aa. Sawchuk, CELLULAR INTERCONNECTS OPTIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR OPTOELECTRONIC SINGLE-INSTRUCTION MULTIPLE DATA, Applied optics, 37(5), 1998, pp. 871-883
We present a novel algorithm for designing optimal cellular interconne
cts (OCI's), which can significantly accelerate the communications amo
ng processors in single-instruction multiple-data machines with optoel
ectronic interconnections. We present the foundations of the OCI archi
tecture and show that the optoelectronic OCI is the optimal topology f
or a space-invariant interconnect pattern. The OCI is optimal in achie
ving a minimum number of clock cycles per data shift for a given numbe
r of optoelectronic links. In addition, our algorithm for designing th
e OCI is deterministic, whereas previous designs required a trial-and-
error procedure. (C) 1998 Optical Society of America.
