Architectures for Optical Computing

Abstract

The activities of the CAM group are recorded herein. These consist of the development of several experimental software systems on an AMT DAP (distributed Array Processor) for evaluation and research purposes. The resulting determinations of the strengths and weakness of the DAP are discussed. Two new machine architectures were developed in an attempt to consolidate the strengths and overcome the weaknesses. The effort led to the analysis of certain parallel algorithms from a new point of view, and thus to a new class of parallel algorithms, the semi-serial algorithms. Keywords: Content addressable memory, Parallel processing, Computer architecture.
