Abstract

The high data transfer requirements in digital computing demand the use of optics. The next step is to perform data processing by optical or opto-clectronic devices. As with electronic computing this computer architecture needs computer skied support. We present a software system which allows interactive design, simulation and evaluation of such computer architectures. With this system, we have developed arithmetic units based on systolic arrays.
