Application Analysis for Electro-Optic Interconnect Coupling

Abstract

This report documents an exploratory study of potential impacts of electro-optic (E/O) interconnect and switching technologies for highly demanding defense computing applications. The analysis reported address both future high-resolution wide-area synthetic aperture radar (SAT) image formation processing, and also processing for advanced methods of automatic target recognition (ATR). The results show high-speed interconnects reduce raw computing power requirements by up to 20% for some SAR applications and can save more than 100 GB memory in ATR applications
