Co-Packaging of Optics for HPC (High-Performance Computing) and Datacenters

This talk will cover high speed fiber optics for Data Centers and High Performance Computing with a focus on co-packaging for these applications. It will highlight the different requirements between Data Center and High Performance Computing with regards to optical interconnect. A particular emphasis will be on IBM’s project MOTION, a U.S. government sponsored program to develop co-packaged optics for both of these applications with a requirement for ultra-low energy consumption.
