Optical Symbolic Processor for Expert System Execution

Abstract

The goal of this program is to develop a concept for an optical computer architecture for symbolic computing by defining a computation model of a high level computer language, examining the possible devices for the ultimate construction of a processor, and by defining required optical operations. The major accomplishments (in chronological order) of this quarter include: Definition of Five level hierarchy; Linear Array representation of processor; Node/Network partitioning; Primitive definitions for distributed execution; and Recursion.
