1. An optoelectronic computing system comprising:
a first semiconductor die comprising a photonic integrated circuit (PIC), the photonic integrated circuit comprising:
a plurality of optical waveguides configured to carry optical signals, wherein a set of multiple input values are encoded on respective optical signals carried by the optical waveguides,
an optical copying distribution network comprising a plurality of optical splitters, in which each optical splitter is configured to send half of the power of an input optical wave at an input port to each of two output ports, and
an array of optoelectronic circuitry sections, in which each optoelectronic circuitry section is configured to receive an optical wave from one of the output ports of the optical copying distribution network, and each optoelectronic circuitry section includes:
at least one photodetector configured to detect at least one optical wave from an optoelectronic operation; and
at least one conductive path integrated in the photonic integrated circuit electrically coupled to the photodetector and electrically coupled to an electrical output port; and
a second semiconductor die comprising an electronic integrated circuit (EIC), the electronic integrated circuit comprising:
a plurality of electrical input ports receiving respective electrical values;
wherein the first semiconductor die and the second semiconductor die are electrically coupled in a controlled collapse chip connection, with the electrical output port of the photonic integrated circuit connected to one of the electrical input ports of the electronic integrated circuit.
