Optical fiber interconnection system for massively parallel processor arrays

The architecture and implements of optical fiber interconnection system for massively parallel multiprocessor arrays are presented in detail. The optical fiber interconnection system has the advantages of high transmission speed, high communication bandwidth, powerful anti disturbance as well as simple, reliable, economical and easy to compact. The electrical device is used as the program controlled device of the topology reconfiguration and fiber optic is used as global interconnection in the system. Therefore, the network can be reconfigurated into various topologies for different algorithms in order that the parallel multiprocessor array has the advantages of high processing speed, various operation modes, applicable for SIMD or MIMD computing structure.
