ABSTRACT:
An optical computing apparatus and method for high speed multiplication of numerical array, wherein the arrays to be multiplied are arranged according to a systolic processing or engagement processing format, and wherein the element multiplication is performed by analog convolution. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the multiplication is implemented with first and second spacial light modulated devices which provide the selected processing format in one spacial dimension and binary multiplication by analog convolution in a second spacial dimension.
