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. …
Silicon photonics has been proving its worth in telco and communications but there is a much brighter opportunity photonics-based computing. …
This year at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC) Dr. Keren Bergman from the Lightwave Research Lab at Columbia University detailed the road ahead for optical interconnects in supercomputing and what it means for exascale energy efficiency and beyond. …
Computing has gone through a few waves. There was human to human computing in the first few decades, and in recent years it has been dominated by human to machine computing with hyperscale consumer-facing applications, and we are on the cusp of a third wave of machine to machine computing that will swell compute, storage, and networking to untold zettabytes of traffic. …
