An Embedded Optical Vector Matrix Multiplication Processor

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, an embedded architecture of optical vector matrix multiplier (OVMM) is presented. The embedded architecture is aimed at optimizing the data flow of vector matrix multiplier (VMM) to promote its performance. The performance according to the architecture is analyzed and the simulation shows that Amdahl's law is used to analyze the hybrid opto-electronic system, and the electronic part and its interaction with optical part form the bottleneck of system.
