Complexity of 3-D optical interconnection-based residue addition processors

The complexity of residue addition processors that are implemented by 3-D optical interconnections has been investigated. The complexity is measured as the number of switching elements required to perform the operation. The complexity of these processors has been determined for moduli 2 through 17 that are prime or powers of prime numbers. The results are compared with the complexity of the 2-D architecture.<<ETX>>
