Abstract


This work presents a study on the impact of the interconnection network on the performance of the APO architecture. The central point is the investigation of the interconnection network on the transmission rates for the APO architecture. The results show that architectural modifications implemented in the APO has led to an increase in performance, solving the active time problem observed during simulations with the first version of the APO. These results have also led to an intensive investigation on the convergence between parallel architectures and optical interconnection networks. Finally, the work discusses new opportunities for future works, presenting new challenges as a natural continuation for the work that has already been developed.
