Claim 0:
1. A photonic communication platform comprising:
a semiconductor photonic substrate comprising an optical network having a plurality of optical waveguides and a plurality of optical transceivers coupled to respective optical waveguides, wherein the plurality of optical waveguides and the plurality of optical transceivers are lithographically patterned on the semiconductor photonic substrate;
a plurality of processor chips mounted on the semiconductor photonic substrate and coupled to respective optical transceivers; and
a networking chip mounted on the semiconductor photonic substrate and coupled to an optical transceiver of the plurality of optical transceivers;
wherein:
a first optical waveguide of the plurality of optical waveguides places a processor chip of the plurality of processor chips in communication with the networking chip, and
the optical network places the processor chips in communication with each other in accordance with a multi-cast topology, whereby each processor chip is in direct communication with more than two other processor chips.
