Abstract
A data processing apparatus having one or more processors each comprising an optical vector matrix multiplier and its peripheral circuits mounted on a single semiconductor substrate, the multiple processors constituting a network. The components of the optical vector matrix multiplier may be divided on two semiconductor substrates so that light-borne data is exchanged therebetween. These arrangements provide a compact multifunction data processing apparatus adapted to deal flexibly with diverse computing problems.
