Abstract
The design of an optical matrix multiplier is presented. In it elementary residue arithmetic1 addition and multiplication operations are broken into simple parallel mapping units. The input to these units is position-coded and translated via holographically stored tables into useful light valve forms. Addition and multiplication mapping units are then combined into the full matrix-vector multiplier. The matrix elements are provided by a microprocessor-controlled CRT and the vector elements are provided by position coded optical fiber input.
