Abstract
The use of inter-chip optical interconnects can lead to a dramatic increase in chip-level and system-level performance of high-performance computing and signal processing systems. In this paper, we describe our efforts to build chipsets for these applications using optoelectronic VLSI. The performance advantages of using optical interconnects are compared with the conventional approach
