Abstract :
In this paper, we demonstrate an optically inspired massively parallel non-Boolean operator which can emulate 3D wave dynamics on a 2D FPGA-based architecture. The algorithm is based on the Paraxial Helmholtz Equation: which describes the beam propagation through different media with different refractive indices. To solve this wave propagation equation numerically the FPGA-accelerated hardware have to operate with spatial varying templates. The FPGA-based implementation is very well parallelizable, consequently it is also be amenable to mega-core architectures.
