Nvidia outlines plans for using light for communication between AI GPUs by 2026 — silicon photonics and co-packaged optics may become mandatory for next-gen AI data centers
The extreme demands of passing communication between ever-growing clusters of AI GPUs is fueling a move towards using light for communication across the networking layers. Earlier this year, Nvidia outlined that its next-generation rack-scale AI platforms will use silicon photonics interconnects with co-packaged optics (CPO) for higher transfer rates at lower power. At the Hot…

Accelerating silicon carbide (SiC) manufacturing with big data platforms
For decades, we heard silicon was the only answer. However, while the world’s largest fabs were busy taping out silicon, the communities of engineers and scientists working on non-silicon technologies continued pushing forward. Compound semiconductors—semiconductors made from two or more periodic table elements—include indium phosphide (InP), silicon nitride (SiN), gallium arsenide (GaAs), germanium (Ge), indium…
