Reconfigurable Optical Bus and Performance Optimization

With the advent of optical fiber and other advanced technologies in solid state,pipelining signals at the wire (or transmission line) level has become possible. This has, in turn, made the slotted bus a potential candidate for interconnection networks (IN) for tightly coupled multiprocessor systetns. However, a bus can provide only lboted bandwidth. Though slotted bus can provide considerably more bandwidth in comparison to the traditional non-slotted bus, it is not enough for fine-grain parallel applicatio…
