Abstract
This paper examines optical star coupled systems as a means of providing interprocessor communication. In particular, a MIMD (multiple instruction, multiple data) distributed memory parallel computer system environment is considered. Media access control protocols that maintain good performance with high capacity optical channels are investigated. Three examples of star-coupled structures are introduced, one that exhibits optical self-routing. Self-routing single-step optically interconnected...Keywords
