A Simulator for the Hydra CMP
In recent years, Single Chip Multiprocessors have been gaining ground as alternatives to superscalar processor architectures. Comparisons [3] between CMPs and Superscalar Processors argue the case for chip multiprocessors through the results that super scalar architectures outperform CMPs of comparable die size and cost by only a small margin where coarse grained parallelism is not available. O...

A concept for a parallel digital signal processor based on opticalinterconnections and optoelectronic VLSI circuits is presented. Itis shown that the proper combination of optical communication, architecture, and algorithms allows a throughput that outperformspurely electronic solutions. The usefulness of low-level algorithmsfrom the add-and-shift class is emphasized. These algorithms leadto fi...
متن کاملNon-blocking Optical Banyan Switch on SOI
An integrated spatially non-blocking 2x2 Banyan switch on silicon on insulator (SOI) is demonstrated. The device relying on thermally switched microring resonators has a footprint of less than 0.02 mm2 and shows negligible channel crosstalk. The presented novel switch topology features a high scalability for application in many-core interconnections for network on-chip architectures. Keywords-c...
