Algorithms for High-Performance Computing with Smart Pixels

  • Chapter

Abstract

One of the major problems in current parallel high-performance computing systems are limitations in the I/O-bandwidth. This is not only a problem on board level communication but also for chip-to-chip and even gate-to-gate interconnections especially in parallel computers. Optical interconnections between in VLSI technology manufactured electronic circuits as aspired in so-called smart pixels systems may offer in the future a solution1. This paper presents well-suited algorithms and architectures for future smart pixels systems consisting of monolithically integrated photodiodes and electronic circuits, which are hybrid mounted to vertical surface emitting laser diodes (VCSEL)2.
