Download or read book Integrated Optical Interconnect Architectures for Embedded Systems written by Ian O'Connor and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-11-07 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad overview of current research in optical interconnect technologies and architectures. Introductory chapters on high-performance computing and the associated issues in conventional interconnect architectures, and on the fundamental building blocks for integrated optical interconnect, provide the foundations for the bulk of the book which brings together leading experts in the field of optical interconnect architectures for data communication. Particular emphasis is given to the ways in which the photonic components are assembled into architectures to address the needs of data-intensive on-chip communication, and to the performance evaluation of such architectures for specific applications.
