Enabling Data Center Hyper Connectivity in the AI Era

10:40 am - 11:05 am

Massive deployments of AI capable data centers have pushed optical interconnect data rates to multiple Tbit/s with a premium on energy consumption. With a million XPU’s being interconnected, there is a need for a hierarchy of interconnects spanning both data rates and distances. In this talk we explore how silicon photonics and heterogeneous integration technology enables the scale-up, scale-out and scale-across interconnects of these deployments.

Key Technologies Covered

Data center interconnect hierarchy
Silicon photonics heterogeneous integration
Towards multi-Tbit/s interconnects
