New Optical DSPs With Tera-ops Performance

Posted by Hemos on from the go-faster-go-faster dept.

GFD writes: "The EETimes has a story about a new class of hybrid digital/optical signal processors that are programmable and offer tera-ops performance potential for relatively low cost and power requirements. No fundamental breakthroughs but rather a very slick use of existing optical networking components to create a programmable optical processor that looks to the rest of the world like a single chip digital signal processor. Elegant and impressive if they can deliver."

    This is the kind of thing that might be able to break 128 bit encryption in months rather than years, so sell your RSA stock.
