Optical Free-Space Interconnections Inside Parallel Architectures: Onera-Cert Activities

  • Chapter
Optical Interconnections and Parallel Processing: Trends at the Interface

Abstract

Researchers are increasingly considering optics as a means of relaying electronic interconnections applied to parallel computer architectures. This paper presents the ONERA-CERT point of view by way of the Milord, Oedipe architectures studied in our laboratories.
