Optical triple matrix product processor

Abstract

Versions of opto-elektronic processors have been suggested 1nrecent years, which can perform algebraic vector and matrix operations and realise pipeline and parallel processing algorithms. The paper presents the results of studies connected with the development of matrix processors have be.en carried out at the Institute of Automation and Electror metry since 1972. In 1 1975 a parallel version of optical triple matrix product pro- cessor was developed" The new optical system for parallel computing of three N x N matrices product D=BAC is analysed in detail.
