A Preliminary Feasibility Study of the LARPBS Optical Bus Parallel Model
Overview Current and future parallel processing systems require high bandwidth interconnects to satisfy the communication demands. Optical technologies have been proposed to address the bandwidth limitation of electrical bus systems. Specifically, during the past decade, several optical bus parallel models have been proposed, together with a suite of basic and advanced algorithms. One of the more popular optical bus models is the Linear Array with Reconfigurable Pipelined Bus System (LARPBS), appearing in 1996. Since then, many publications present mostly theoretical work concerning LARPBS algorithms, and only limited comments regarding the implementation of this model have been noted. This paper assesses the realistic and practical nature of the LARPBS optical bus parallel model with respect to recent available optical technologies.
