Abstract

A new computing architecture based on multiwavelength opto-electronic integrated circuits (multiwave OEICs) is proposed to overcome the communication bottleneck in highly parallel systems. In this paper, we present a possible model of multiwave OEICs to evaluate areas of multiwave computing circuits as a function of the number of available wavelength components and other key parameters. Also, the systematic multiplexing scheme of shuffle-network-based parallel processing structures is discussed to analyze the impact of multiwave computing on the design of highly parallel systems. Moreover, we discuss near-future applications of multiwave computing concept
