Abstract
MIMD and pipeline processing is executed by entering data and control signals into processing chips in the form of optical signals, and entering multi-bit information (data and control signals) in parallel and at high speed on the basis of non-coherence of light beams. The efficiency of MIMD processing function has been improved by expanding data transfer buses between processors and output buses in place of data and control signal input buses that have become unnecessary. A processing chip for receiving optical signals consists of a large number of cells dedicated for vector computations, and/or a large number of cells dedicated for vector computations and/or cells dedicated for arithmetic and logical computations. A processing chip for wide applications ranging from vector computations to logical computations by employing a construction combining both processors.
