The sorting module which is currently under construction is shown as a functional schematic in figure 1. Figure 2 is a photograph of the optics. The system implements the bitonic sort based on Batcher’s algorithm implemented with a perfect shuffle. A re-circulating rather than pipelined arrangement is used to minimise hardware requirements to 2 smart pixel chips; • a sorting node array (self-routing exchange/bypass nodes), and • shift register array which acts as the input/output interface.

A Comparison of Massively Parallel Interconnect Topologies Employing Optical Highways

Optics in Computing

However, an optical relay system[2] is capable of handling substantially more channels: up to a few hundred thousand. If, for example, a 1-D, nearest-neighbor interconnect were to be implemented optically then, although the capacity of the optoelectronic interface may be fully utilized, the potential capacity of the optics will not. To harness this ‘extra’ capacity the outputs from, and inputs to, many opto-electronic chips can be spatially interleaved within a free-space optical system. This allows a high dimensional network topology to be embedded within a physical 3-D layout, opening up the possibility of realizing attractive, but previously impractical, interconnection networks for massively parallel processing systems.

Rapid direct writing of the guides and other structures is realized using a high-power 325 nm He:Cd laser. The loss is measured by cut-back to be less than 0.17 dB/cm at 850 nm and less than 0.5 dB/cm at 1310 nm. This material and writing system is used to

The experimental system uses hybrid very large scale integrated optoelectronics technology whereby InGaAs-based detectors and modulators are flip-chip bonded onto silicon integrated circuits. The system aims to demonstrate (a 1-Tb/s aggregate data input/output to a single chip by means of freespace optics.

We describe the design of a system with the potential of sorting 1024 8-bit words in 10 μs. The system is based on 32-by-32 arrays of smart pixels produced by solder-assembly of strained InGaAs/GaAs MQW modulator/detectors with CMOS electronics. These devices are

The performance metrics such as the bit output data rate and the power consumption of the system are quantified. The sorting module is designed to demonstrate the parallel nonlocal interconnection of smart-pixel arrays and the use of optical-image control masks in a functioning information processor.

Rapid direct writing of the guides and other structures is realized using a high-power 325 nm He:Cd laser. The loss is measured by cut-back to be less than 0.17 dB/cm at 850 nm and less than 0.5 dB/cm at 1310 nm. This material and writing system is used to make 50 micrometers square core cladded guides and compliant bumps for device attachment, and 45 degree(s) TIR mirrors for out of plane coupling.
