Abstract

This paper discusses the potential role of optics in future COTS processors manufactured by Mercury Computer Systems. We conclude that high-end applications, particularly space time adaptive processing (STAP), benefit from a computing platform with an optical backplane. Author(s) Lund, C. Mercury Comput. Syst.
