As we have seen with various kinds of high bandwidth, stacked DRAM memory to compute engines in the past decade, just adding this wide, fast, and expensive memory to a compute engine can radically improve the effective performance of the device. …
There is no shortage of silicon photonics technologies under development, and every few months it seems like another startup crops up promising massive bandwidth, over longer distances, while using less power than copper interconnects. …
To a certain extent, the only thing that really matters in a computing system is what changes in its memory, and to that extent, this is what makes computers like us. …
