Architectures and design systems for an optoelectronic 3-D VLSI

3-dimensional (3-D) optical interconnections for integrated circuits allow to realise massively parallel and extremely high compact 3-D computing systems. Recent progress in many microoptic and optoelectronic device technologies has made possible the realisation of demonstrators and early test circuits. This new technology means a challenge for technical computer scientists concerning the design of new computer architectures as well as appropriate design systems. The following article describes which architectures are favourable to exploit the benefits of optics in computing in the chip-to-chip area at most. In addition we present the work that was done in this context at the University of Jena.
