Abstract

OTIS computers employ the optical transpose interconnect system for inter package communications and a regular electronic interconnect system (e.g., mesh, hypercube, mesh of trees) for intra package communications. In this chapter, we explore the characteristics of OTIS computers and summarize some of the algorithmic developments that have been made.
