Optical Computation Using Residue Arithmetic.
Abstract
The possible use of residue arithmetic in an optical or opto-electronic computer is investigated. The fundamental properties of the residue number system are first considered. Various optical methods for implementing residue operations are discussed. A configuration for an opto-electronic residue matrix-vector multiplier is proposed. All-electronic implementation of residue operations is also considered, and the potential advantages of optics are identified. (Author)
