**3. The Cellular technology constructing 3D logical structures**

Efforts to create optoelectronic circuits have given impetus to the development of algorithmic and software tools that aid in solution of the problem of design and study of 3D (multilayer) digital structures, focused on the use of optical interlayer connections.

These tools map a primordial parallel algorithm of a problem solution onto an architecture with a massive spatial-temporal parallelism. The orientation to constructing structures of models that consist of huge sets of rather simple and homogenous computing devices (cells), mainly with local links, and placed in a 3D space is their basic property.

The considered tools include:


A detailed description of the cellular technology is given in [11].
