Multiwave interconnection networks for MCM-based parallel processing
説明
This paper presents multiwave interconnections — optical interconnections that employ wavelength components as multiplexable information carriers — for next-generation multiprocessor systems using MCM technology. A hypercube-based multiprocessor network called the multiwave hypercube (MWHC) is introduced, where multiwave interconnections provide highly-flexible dynamic communication channels. A performance analysis shows that the use of integrated multiwave optics enables the reduction of network complexity on a MCM substrate, while supporting low-latency message routing.
