Apparatus and system for providing optical bus interprocessor interconnection

A system for providing optical interprocessor communication, said system comprising:

• a local multichip module including:
• a substrate;
• an integrated circuit electrically connected to said substrate;
• and
• a hermetically sealed cover, wherein said hermetically sealed cover encloses a sealed portion of said substrate and wherein said integrated circuit is inside of said sealed cover;
• an optical module, wherein said optical module includes an optical transceiver located on said substrate outside of said sealed portion and wherein said optical transceiver is electrically connected to said integrated circuit through said substrate;
• and
• a computer circuit including instructions to format and send data from said local multichip module to a remote multichip module.
