Paradigm Change: Reinventing HPC Architectures with In-Package Optical I/O
In this white paper, our friends over at Ayar Labs discuss an important paradigm change: reinventing HPC architectures with in-package optical I/O. The introduction of in-package optical I/O technology helps HPC centers accelerate the slope of compute progress needed to tackle ever-growing scientific problem sizes and HPC/AI convergence. Ayar Labs expects to not only see its technology extend the traditional type of architecture to put the HPC industry back on track, but also result in an inflection point that fundamentally changes the slope of the compute performance efficiency curve. The key will be enabling converged HPC/AI centers to build systems with disaggregated CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and custom ASICs interconnected on equal footing.
