Broadcast-and-weight interconnects for integrated distributed processing systems
Alexander N. Tait, Mitchell A. Nahmias, Bhavin J. Shastri, Paul R. Prucnal · 2014
Sillion photonic platform development has revolved around point-to-point links for multi-core computing systems. We examine an opportunity for this technology to extend to unconventional architectures that rely heavily on interconnect performance. Broadcast-and-weight is a new approach for joining neuron-inspired processing and optical interconnect physics.
