The invention discloses a parallel access memory 
system based on optical 
interconnection and mainly solves that problems that according to an existing 
electric bus memory 
system, the access bandwidth is small, access 
delay is large, area occupation is large, and board-level circuit 
data rate is low. The 
system comprises an optical transmitting layer (101) and memory 
layers (103). The optical transmitting layer is provided with optical emitters, 
optical receivers, U-shaped waveguides and 
broadband micro rings. The optical emitters and the 
optical receivers are located in the middle of the optical transmitting layer in two rows, and the U-shaped waveguides are arrayed around a reference position. Each memory layer is provided with memory units (104) distributed and arrayed in a grid type, and the memory units in a same rank are perpendicularly distributed on different memory 
layers. The parallel access performance of the memory system is improved, the 
data access bandwidth and the 
data rate are increased, the access 
delay is reduced, the area occupation of the memory system on a circuit board is reduced, and the memory system can be adaptive to 
optical communication between a processor core and the memory system.
