An Optical Interconnect Model for k-ary n-cube Wormhole Networks

This paper presents an optical interconnect model for kary n-cube network topologies based on free-space analysis. This model integrates relevant parameters inherent to optics with traditional network parameters to make it applicable for performance evaluation of parallel processor optical network designs. We apply this model to a free-space diffractive-reflective optical interconnect and compare our results with electronic-based networks.
