Abstract

A new optoelectronic hardware architecture of a neural network processor is proposed. A basic cell in the system is composed of electronic neurons that share the same time-distributed input; the input is introduced by means of an optical broadcast. The system combines the computational strength of electronics and the communica- tion strength of optics in an optimal manner and it is poten- tially scalable to a very large number of neurons. A descrip- tion of the system is given and the behavior of a first prototype is shown. © 2003 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation
