The Lecture is:
Rejuvenate Post-Moore’s Law Computing with Photonics-Electronics Integration
Abstract:
Computing systems, from data center and HPC to smart phone and electrical vehicle, are integrating growing numbers of processors, accelerators, memories, and peripherals to meet the burgeoning performance requirements of new applications under tight cost, energy, thermal, space, and weight constraints. Silicon photonics piggybacks onto matured fabrication technologies to provide viable and cost-effective solutions. Based on our decade-long quest to transform computing systems with photonics, this talk will highlight our recent progresses on photonics-electronics integrations that can rejuvenate post-Moore’s Law computing. Photonic-electronic integrations open up new opportunities to applications, architectures, design techniques, and design automation tools.
