Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
The exponential growth of multimodal sensor data demands computing architectures capable of massively parallel tensor operations with ultralow latency and high energy efficiency. Optical computing offers a promising route to overcome the von Neumann bottleneck and inherent limits on parallelism in electronic systems. Here, we report a hyper-parallel distributed multi-core photonic processor (DMPP) that orchestrates the intrinsic orthogonality of light across spectral and spatial domains to enable multiple-instruction, multiple-data processing. Our approach integrates wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) with spatially distributed photonic tensor cores, allowing a single processor to process multiple independent data streams and computational tasks concurrently. The system supports multitask workflows by dynamically sharing photonic cores across tasks. This work establishes a scalable photonic computing paradigm for high-throughput processing of heterogeneous sensor data, enabling efficient, parallel neural network accelerators for edge intelligence and multimodal analytics.
