Computer with high-speed bus such as personal computer, uses electro-optical converters to convert between optical signals and electrical signals

摘要

A computer includes a CPU (10) having at least one semiconductor component, a working store (40), an optical-core type bus (36,33) via which the CPU (10) is connected to the working memory. Electro-optical converters (11,47) convert between the optical signals and the electrical signals, the optical interfaces of which are connected to the optical cores (36,33) and whose electrical interfaces are joined to the respective semiconductor components (10,41) of the processor and the working memory.
