Popis: This paper gives the implementation details of the software environment described in an accompanying paper, referred to as WF1.0. The environment WF1.0 is a set of modules each of which realizes a data generation and/or data processing function Control of the modules operation is based on a dialog box user interface that allows the user lo specify an input WF and a medium parameters. detector characteristics, apertures, spatial light modulator (SLM) setup, etc as well as specify connections between the modules. After an optical configuration is specified, a computation run can be started by triggering an input module, say, the WF generator. The configuration also includes the measuring modules that monitor the results of optical computing and can be used to reconfigure dynamically the optical system configuration. Examples of various optical configurations are demonstrated including a programmable correlator and a resonator-based associative memory.
