Compact programmable optical parallel processing system.

摘要

This is a programmable processing system which comprises: one or more computer networks each of the networks has at least one population of processor nodes 50; at least one population of storage nodes 52; and at least one switch 56 to provide transfer of information between the processor nodes 50 and the storage nodes 52. Each processor node has at least one processing module comprising spatial light modulators; processors; and at least one hologram. Other methods and devices are disclosed. <IMAGE>
