Dynamically reconfigurable optical packet switch (DROPS).

A novel Dynamically Reconfigurable Optical Packet Switch (DROPS) that combines both spectral and spatial switching capabilities is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time. Compared with an Arrayed Waveguide Grating Router (AWGR), the added spatial switching capability provided by the microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) enables dynamically reconfigurable routing that is not...

High Bandwidth Dynamically Reconfigurable Architectures Using Optical Interconnects

Optoelectronic interconnects are one means of alleviating the ever growing communications bottlenecks associated with silicon electronics. In chip-to-chip and board-to-board interconnection, the bandwidths presently (if experimentally) available far outstrip what is predicted possible in electronics until into the next decade. Such high bandwidth possibilities demand a rethink of conventional c...

Acceleration of Optical-Flow Extraction Using Dynamically Reconfigurable ALU Arrays

An effective way to implement image processing applications is to use embedded processors with dynamically reconfigurable accelerator cores. The processing speed of these processors are not only depends on the parallelism, but also depend on the local memory utilization since the local memories are much faster than the global memory. In this paper, we accelerate the optical-flow extraction algo...
