This book introduces neural networks. It describes what they are, what they can do and how
they do it. While some scientific background is assumed, the reader is not expected to have …

A new interconnection network for massively parallel computing is introduced. This network
is called an optical multi-mesh hypercube (OMMH) network. The OMMH integrates positive …

Optical information processing lies at the intersection of optics and signal processing. It
involves the processing of optical information as well as the use of optical means to process …

On the basis of signed-digit negabinary representation, parallel two-step addition and one-
step subtraction can be performed for arbitrary-length negabinary operands. The arithmetic …

Highly energy-efficient computing can be implemented by exploiting the physical nature of
wave-particle duality (WPD) in coherent light propagation and detection. Requirements to …

A 3-D optical architecture currently under investigation is described. This model, a single-
instruction, multiple-data (SIMD) system, exploits spatial parallelism and processes 2-D …

This paper discusses the present status of optical computing and interconnects, including
device technology, and recent progress in three types of optical computing-analog, digital …

Energy efficiency of electronic digital processors is primarily limited by the energy
consumption of electronic communication and interconnects. The industry is almost …

Associative processing based on content-addressable memories has been argued to be the
natural solution for nonnumerical information processing applications. Unfortunately, the …

Heat removal, rather than finite interconnect density, is the major mechanism that limits how
densely we can pack three-dimensional computing systems of increasing numbers of …
