title = "Time-division optical communications in multiprocessor arrays",
abstract = "An optical communication structure for multiprocessor arrays that exploits the high communication bandwidth of optical waveguides is proposed. The structure takes advantage of two properties of optical signal transmissions on waveguides: unidirectional propagation and predictable propagation delays per unit length. Two novel time-division multiplexing approaches are proposed for non-SIMD environments to obtain a communication bandwidth comparable to that of message pipelining in SIMD environments. Analysis and simulation results are given to evaluate the communication effectiveness of the system. A clock distribution method is proposed to address potential synchronization problems. Finally, feasibility issues with current and future technologies are discussed.",
