Optically Interconnected Intelligent RAM Multiprocessors (OPTO-IRAM)

Abstract

Current electrical systems are faced with the limitation in performance by the electrical interconnect technology determining overall processing speed. In addition, the electrical interconnects containing many long distance interconnects require high power to drive. One of the best methods to overcome these bottlenecks is through the use of optical interconnect to limit interconnect latency and power. This report describes development of Computer Aided Design (CAD) tools for optimizing a new approach to high performance System-on-Chip (SoC) utilizing free-space optical interconnects technology. Two approaches to design and optimization of the optoelectronic systems using optical interconnections are presented.
