Modeling and simulating optical computing architectures

摘要

The major issues in system design are timing, synchronization, and control. In designing free-space otpical computing architectures, the application of CAD tools is necessary because of the high degree of system complexity, parallelism and concurrency; in onjunction with the high cost and lack of availability of devices. Current CAD tools lack the expressiveness to model system structure and behavior of apprallel and concurrent architectures. Thus, making them inefficient and ineffective.
