Abstract :
This paper addresses some fundamental issues relating to the design of systems on chip that utilize optical interconnects. We present an information theoretical model for assessing trade-offs between global and local partitions in these systems, and evaluate interconnect topology synthesis and application mapping techniques for digital signal processing (DSP) applications in these systems.
