Abstract

A low power, high-performance optoelectronic computing (HPOC) module architecture, which exploits global (multidimensional), free space, smart optical interconnects is being developed for database processing. By leveraging the high fan-in and fan-out capabilities of the smart optical free space interconnects, the HPOC module offers a significant reduction in power consumption. The development of these optoelectronic integrated circuits (OEICs) evolved from a second generation digital optoelectronic computer (DOC II). This optoelectronic processor demonstrated relational text search applications using the N-bit equality detection algorithm. In addition, this algorithm can be extended and integrated into the HPOC module architecture. Designed to process information at speeds up to 10/sup 14/ bit operations per second, the HPOC modules combine the benefits of high algorithmic efficiency and high noise margins. The modules are fabricated from arrays of microlasers, diffractive optical interconnect elements, and smart pixel arrays (DANE cell arrays).
