Abstract :
We propose the method of all-optical performing the operation of matrix multiplication on the base of the matrix of waveguide ring microresonators. Information is processed immediately when it passes through the optical system, which performs the computation procedures, and with supply of the input data in parallel. The speed of such optical matrix processor is mtimes1010 vector multiplication per second, where m is the quantity of the used wavelengths that defines the number of rows of the multiplied matrix
