Architecture of the Monitor System in Ternary Optical Computer

Abstract

The monitor system architecture in ternary optical computer (TOC) was discussed. There were some important modules, such as the client, network communication module (NCM), data preprocess module (DPM), operation-request scheduling module (ORSM), optical processor allocation module (OPAM) and the embedded system in the architecture. And the communication protocols between these modules were analyzed and designed. At the same time, the functions of the modules were introduced.

Key technologies for task processing in ternary optical computer

“…In the early stages of the development of ternary optical computer, Wang Xianchao [10] conducted a preliminary exploration of the task management system for ternary optical computers. He established a basic structure for task processing and proposed an algorithm for proportionally allocating resources of ternary optical processor.…”
