    Talk Title: An Optical Turing Machine

    Abstract: The Optical Turing Machine (OTM) is our effort to design and implement a digital device that processes network data in an optical multibit/symbol modulation format. Its goal is to support high-speed computation using an encoding capable of high-speed, long-distance transmission. OTM explores the unification of communication and computation, and investigates the nature of Turing-equivalent computation. This talk introduces the OTM approach and discusses its key challenges. We discuss our current OTM projects, including the extension of our earlier all-optical packet hopcount decrement to multibit encoding, and the design and implementation of the world's first all-optical Internet checksum.

    The OTM project is supported by grants from USC/ISI's New Research Initiatives (NRI) and the NSF Center for Integrated Access Networks (CIAN).
