Flexibly Scalable High Performance Architectures with Embedded Photonics
July 7, 2019 by
Keren Bergman from Columbia University gave this talk at PASC19. “Data movement, dominated by energy costs and limited ‘chip-escape’ bandwidth densities, is a key physical layer roadblock to these systems’ scalability. Integrated silicon photonics with deeply embedded optical connectivity is on the cusp of enabling revolutionary data movement and extreme performance capabilities.”
