The arrival of optical technology changes the interconnection structure of highly-parallel multiprocessor systems. We classify and investigate the topologies of three-dimensional multistage interconnection networks. We also discuss the routing algorithms in the three-dimensional environment. Certain network topologies and controls are better utilizing the optical features. These networks are given special attention in our study. Key Words: Optical Switch, I)ilation, Spatial Invariance, 3-D Interconnections, Multistage Interconnection Network, Multiprocessors, Network Topology.
