Abstract

A general approach is described for optically implementing massively parallel logic. A space-variant logic related to the MIMD (multiple-instruction-multiple-data) logic operation technique is proposed and extended to a ternary logic. A cellular array based on the ternary logic is proposed, and its application to a dynamic interconnection architecture in which optical data flow is changed by an optical control signal is discussed
