Abstract

Optical interconnects can support a larger number of I/O^1,2 and can achieve higher band- widths for less power than electrical interconnects,^3-5 Fixed Receiver Path (FRP) networks, where each processor in the network has a unique receive path, reduce the complexity of on-chip dala-path and control logic, as well as exploit the I/O count and bandwidth advantages of optoelectronics to increase the network bandwidth and to reduce nixie latencies.
