ABSTRACT:
This is a programmable processing system which comprises: one or more computer networks each of the networks has at least one population of processor nodes; at least one population of storage nodes; and at least one switch to provide transfer of information between the processor nodes and the storage nodes. Each processor node has at least one processing module comprising spatial light modulators; processors; and at least one hologram. Other methods and devices are disclosed.
