Abstract

An efficient design methodology for the construction of an optical space invariant hypercube interconnection network is presented. This network connects a two-dimensional array of input nodes to a two-dimensional array of output nodes. The basis of the design is a 2 ⁶ node hypercube from which hypercubes of higher dimensions can be built. The requirements for the optical implementation of this scheme are also proposed. It is shown that hypercubes of dimension up to 21 can be realized using the given implementation
