Research on Key Technologies of Data Processing Mechanisms in Ternary Optical Computer

Abstract

This paper introduces an arithmetic data file, a key technology for data processing in a ternary optical computer (TOC). The physical form of the ternary optical processor and its data processing characteristics are analyzed. Based on this analysis, the compution-data is constructed, and research is carried out on the format of the compution-data, its generation method, and the expansion of high-level languages transmitted to the ternary optical processor. The calculation rules and the raw data for the ternary optical computer are organized into a file that conforms to the calculation characteristics of the computer. A data processing mechanism based on the compution-data is proposed. Finally, an experimental test was conducted on the platform of a ternary optical computer using specific examples. The results showed that by organizing and transmitting data through the compution-data, the ternary optical computer could fully utilize its computational advantages in data processing while shielding the underlying complex hardware processing. This makes it convenient for users to apply this new type of computer. This data processing mechanism can offer a novel perspective for other heterogeneous systems in data processing.
