Optical Supercomputing: 4th International Workshop, OSC by Zeev Zalevsky, David Sylman, H. John Caulfield (auth.),

By Zeev Zalevsky, David Sylman, H. John Caulfield (auth.), Shlomi Dolev, Mihai Oltean (eds.)

This ebook constitutes the completely refereed post-conference court cases of the 4th overseas Workshop on Optical SuperComputing, OSC 2012, held in Bertinoro, Italy, in July 2012. The eleven papers awarded including eleven invited papers have been rigorously reviewed and chosen for inclusion during this booklet. Being an annual discussion board for examine displays on all elements of optical computing for fixing tough computation projects, OCS addresses the subsequent themes of curiosity: layout of optical computing units, electro-optic units for interacting with optical computing units, sensible implementations, research of latest units and case experiences, optical and laser switching applied sciences, purposes and algorithms for optical units, alpha debris, X-rays and nano-technologies for optical computing.

In contrast, reversible logic is based on lossless logic elements, such as the Fredkin gate[4]. Essentially, a Fredkin gate is a cross-bar switch converted to perform logic operations. The schematic representation of a Fredkin gate is depicted in Fig. 1. Traditionally, a Fredkin gate has three information channels, the control channel C and two data input and output channels. While the signal in the control channel is transmitted unchanged it controls the two data channels, in the following way: b 1 = a1 ; b 2 = a2 If C = 0; b 1 = a2 ; b 2 = a1 If C = 1.
