With the bottlenecks between compute engines, their memories, and their networking adapters growing larger with each passing generation of AI machinery, there has never been a more pressing need to shift away from copper and towards optics in datacenter systems. …
Without question, the biggest bottleneck in artificial intelligence and for a lot of HPC workloads today is bandwidth. …
Sponsored Post: Analyst firm Gartner believes AI will remain one of the top workloads driving infrastructure decisions through to 2023 as more organizations push pilot projects into the production stage. …
We have been talking about silicon photonics so long that we are, probably like many of you, frustrated that it already is not ubiquitous. …
It is not every day when we hear about a new supercomputer maker with a new architecture, but it is looking like Luminous Computing, a silicon photonics startup that has been pretty secretive about what it was up to, is going to be throwing its homegrown architecture into the ring. …
As many of you know from reading The Next Platform, we are firm believers that eventually we will get disaggregated and composable systems that drive up the sharing of hardware resource across many workloads and therefore drive down the cost of hardware to support workloads. …
Silicon photonics has been proving its worth in telco and communications but there is a much brighter opportunity photonics-based computing. …
At some point, Moore’s Law increases in performance are going to hit a wall when it comes to datacenter networks. …
Ayar Labs looks like it is just about ready to put its optical I/O chiplet technology into commercial datacenter products. …
The commercial realization of artificial intelligence has companies scrambling to develop the next big hardware technology breakthrough for this multi-billion dollar market. …
