Abstract :
Summary form only given. Optical interconnections are introduced to the massively parallel computer (RWC-1) testbed system using 16 12-channel fully integrated optical modules. This system achieved high throughput inter-board optical interconnections of 48-bit parallel data at 100 MHz, thus enabling 4.8-Gbps throughput.
