• Parallel optical interconnects: Implementation of optoelectronics in multiprocessor architectures The performance and efficiency of computers with multiple processors is highly dependent on the network connecting the various cooperating processors. Limited connectivity forces much of the potential computational speed to be used to compensate for the limitation in connections. The availability of multiple parallel I/O connections ensures completely unrestricted connectivity and is an essential prerequisite for an interprocessor network that can meet the ever-increasing communication demands. The paper highlights the design, construction and application of an electro-optical communication system, which highlights a special free space technology employing multiple data distributors and integrated optically writable input buffer arrays with fully parallel access.

• CSDL | IEEE Computer Society Despite the undisputable success in the telecommunication area, applications of optical interconnect techniques to the crate-to-crate, node-to-node, chip-to-chip and gate-to-gate level within a Massively Parallel Computer architecture have still failed to materialize. Questions, such as whether to choose for a serial ultra-high or a parallel moderate data throughput rate, always considering a logic-to-logic approach, are still not adequately an-swered. An unavoidable number of thresholds a computer manufacturer has to conquer, in case a decision has to be made whether to choose for an electrical or optical solution. An overall system-to-device observation eases in a solution of this dilemma. The authors overview the R & D exertions of the Opto Electronic Systems and Engineering Group of the Delft University of Technology with respect to the development of an Optical Back-plane System, enabling a free space data transport in a Massively Parallel Processing environment
