| Abstract | A new bidirectional optical processor is described for rapidly searching a hierarchical
structure that is stored as a matrix. The processor can answer relatively complex queries
formulated as combinations of set closures, unions and complementations. We refer to this
processor as Associative Optical processor. The processor's architecture is based on the optical
technology. The advantages of this technology over the current electronic technology is also
discussed.
A set of algorithms and related examples are presented to show the working of this
processor. Simulation programs are written in Pascal to test the behavior of these algorithms. A
graphical inte1face is attached with the simulation programs to show the iteration wise working
of the processor graphically. |
