Download or read book Proceedings of the Second International Conference on Massively Parallel Processing Using Optical Interconnections, October 23-24, 1995, San Antonio, Texas written by Eugen Schenfeld and published by Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers(IEEE). This book was released on 1995 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Annotation Offers eight invited lectures by contributors from academia and industry in the fields of parallel computer systems, optical interconnections, and technology; two panel discussions; and 34 papers by contributors from throughout the world. In addition to reporting on recent advances in the field, they speculate on how optical interconnections might impact the design of parallel computer systems and communication networks, and the writing of applications and algorithms. Among the topics are reconfigurable architectures, embedding and mapping of applications and algorithms, the packaging and layout of optical interconnections, passive optical elements, data distribution and partitioning, and cost/performance studies.
