Optical Symbolic Processor for Expert System Execution

Abstract

In this quarter, we conducted a performance evaluation of the proposed optical architecture SPARO (Symbolic Processing Architecture in Optics) . Specifically, we examined the performance of the ring interconnection network of SPARO. An accurate performance model was developed for predicting the message throughout of bidirectional ring network. As suspected earlier, the ring network was the bottleneck in the performance. This led us to study other network topologies that are both feasible in optics and yield high throughput. The final choice of the optical interconnection network topology was deemed by the replicated perfect shuffle network.
