Advances in optical technologies have made it possible to implement
optical interconnections in future massively parallel processing
systems. Photons are non-charged particles, and do not naturally
interact. Consequently, there are many desirable characteristics of
optical interconnects, e.g. high speed (speed of light), increased
fanout, high bandwidth, high reliability, longer interconnection
lengths, low power requirements, and immunity to EMI with reduced
crosstalk. Optics can utilize free-space interconnects as well as
guided wave technology, neither of which has the problems of VLSI
technology mentioned above. Optical interconnections can be built
at various levels, providing chip-to-chip, module-to-module,
board-to-board, and node-to-node communications. Massively parallel
processing using optical interconnections poses new challenges; new
system configurations need to be designed, scheduling and data
communication schemes based on new resource metrics need to be
investigated, algorithms for a wide variety of applications need to
be developed under the novel computation models that optical
interconnections permit, and so on. Parallel Computing Using
Optical Interconnections is a collection of survey articles written
by leading and active scientists in the area of parallel computing
using optical interconnections. This is the first book which
provides current and comprehensive coverage of the field, reflects
the state of the art from high-level architecture design and
algorithmic points of view, and points out directions for further
research and development.
