Optical Shared Memory

Abstract

The objectives of this effort was to investigate and evaluate OPTIMUL, an Optical Interconnect for Multiprocessor Systems, which could be used to interconnect a range of granularity of processors and memories for access to very large/knowledge bases (10**12-10**16 bytes). The final report details results fo the architecture simulation, and discusses the operation of the system. The report also includes designs for an Optically Writeable Ram Cell (OWRC), a Differential Amplifier/Static Ram Cell (SRAM), and a Balanced Receiver. (RRH)
