FAST-Net Optical Interconnection Module Design and Development

摘要

It is widely recognized that future multiprocessor computer architectural concepts must overcome the limitations of traditional metallic buses and backplanes to achieve high overall performance. problematic inter-processor communications bottlenecks can be found in a broad range of significant applications - from large telecom/datacom switches to multiprocessor signal and image processing applications. With smart pixel throughput capabilities projected to exceed 1 Tbit/s/cm~2, it is hoped that they may be incorporated into a new generation of multiprocessor architectures that will overcome multiprocessor communications bottlenecks.
