Abstract
We describe an optical interface message processor that explores the high-bandwidth, parallelism, and high information density offered by optics. The time consuming operations in parallel signal processing networks, such as switching and routing, are performed in optical domain in the proposed system. The design does not suffer from the optical/electrical conversion bottlenecks and can perform self-routing in the range of Gigabits/s.
