Abstract
A classification of the related areas of optical/opto\-electronic interconnection network research, electrical-based interconnection network research and computational models is presented. In particular, a holistic viewpoint of optical/opto\-electronic interconnection networks is adopted. This viewpoint provides significant insight into the important issues regarding optical/opto\-electronic interconnection network research, and more importantly, its role in supporting teraflop computing. In particular, relationships between these three areas are characterized. Two types of relationships have been considered: electrical-to-optical and computational-to-optical.
