New models on optical interconnections that accurately reflect the limitations imposed on high-speed systems are being studied. Emphasis is placed on the excitation response of the interconnection network, rather than on the dynamics of the active devices. This greatly simplifies the analysis and avoids excessive computational effort. VLSI systems are represented by a hierarchical model that satisfies the observed power law relationship between circuit complexity and interconnection count. Closed form expressions that model the behavior of optical interconnections are being developed. These expressions allow a comparison between the operational performance of new interconnect strategies and that of their electrical counterparts. The transfer of information in a multicomputer system is a major bottleneck. The realization and study of optical communication technologies is very important and has high payoff. A careful analysis of interconnect delays as a function of system hierarchy must be made in order for this emerging technology to be successfully deployed in real systems. The principal investigator is a new Ph.D. who already has significant progress in his research. The research focuses on important and timely topics. Support is highly recommended.

正在研究精确反映对高速系统施加的局限性的光学互连的新模型正在研究中。 重点放在互连网络的激发响应上，而不是主动设备的动力学。 这大大简化了分析，并避免了过度的计算工作。 VLSI系统由一个层次模型表示，该模型满足了电路复杂性和互连数之间观察到的功率定律关系。 开发了模拟光学互连行为的封闭形式表达式。 这些表达式可以比较新的互连策略的运营性能与它们的电气对应物的运营性能。 多机计算机系统中信息的传输是主要的瓶颈。 光学通信技术的实现和研究非常重要，并且有很高的回报。 必须仔细分析互连延迟作为系统层次结构的函数，以便将这种新兴技术成功部署在实际系统中。 首席研究员是新的博士学位。他的研究已经取得了重大进展。 该研究的重点是重要和及时的主题。 强烈建议支持。
