Paper Abstract
The design and implementation of a high-precision, high fan-in, optoelectronic threshold gate is discussed. The device is entirely digital. It is capable of altering its internal weights and function dynamically to provide the equivalent of a programmable gate. External circuitry has been specially designed to provide intrinsic control variables, as well as ordinary input variables. A distinction between extrinsic control variables and intrinsic control variables is presented. Analogies to the operation of a central processing unit are considered. Physical fabrication details and operating characteristics at ten million instructions per second are discussed.
