ABSTRACT:
A signal communication device for use within a computer includes a set of optical fibers configured to form an optical computer bus between a set of computer sub-system elements of a computer. A set of input optical connector cards are connected to the set of optical fibers. Each of the input optical connector cards includes a transmitting dynamic bandwidth allocator responsive to an optical bus clock signal operating at a multiple of a computer system clock signal such that a set of bus time slots are available for each computer system clock signal cycle. The transmitting dynamic bandwidth allocator allows a light signal to be applied to the optical computer bus during a dynamically assigned bus time slot. In this way, the optical computer bus bandwidth can be dynamically allocated to different computer sub-system elements during a single computer system clock signal cycle.
