Photons are non-charged particles, and do not  naturally interact. Consequently, there are many desirable  characteristics of optical interconnects, e.g. high speed (speed of  light), increased fanout, high bandwidth, high reliability, longer  interconnection lengths, low power requirements, and immunity to EMI  with reduced crosstalk. Optics can utilize free-space interconnects as  well as guided wave technology, neither of which has the problems of  VLSI technology mentioned above. Optical interconnections can be built  at various levels, providing chip-to-chip, module-to-module,  board-to-board, and node-to-node communications. \u003cbr\u003e  Massively parallel processing using optical interconnections poses new  challenges; new system configurations need to be designed, scheduling  and data communication schemes based on new resource metrics need to  be investigated, algorithms for a wide variety of applications need to  be developed under the novel computation models that optical  interconnections permit, and so on. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eParallel Computing Using Optical Interconnections\u003c\/em\u003e is a  collection of survey articles written by leading and active scientists  in the area of parallel computing using optical interconnections. This  is the first book which provides current and comprehensive coverage of  the field, reflects the state of the art from high-level architecture  design and algorithmic points of view, and points out directions for  further research and development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1998-10-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792382966\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/b102253\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 280\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45578394828940,"sku":"9780792382966","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792382966.jpg?v=1771511017","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792382966","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
