Electrical Interconnections Limits and Optical Interconnections Solutions to Signal Propagation delay for On Chip Data Path
Abstract: Optical interconnection is a promising solution for high speed interconnects between chips or boards to solve the inherent limits of electrical interconnects in speed, crosstalk, and power dissipation. It is believed that the concept of integrated optical interconnect is a potential technological solution to alleviate some of the ever more pressing issues involved in exchanging data b...
متن کاملSingle-chip photonic transceiver based on bulk-silicon, as a chip-level photonic I/O platform for optical interconnects
When silicon photonic integrated circuits (PICs), defined for transmitting and receiving optical data, are successfully monolithic-integrated into major silicon electronic chips as chip-level optical I/Os (inputs/outputs), it will bring innovative changes in data computing and communications. Here, we propose new photonic integration scheme, a single-chip optical transceiver based on a monolith...
متن کاملSense and nonsense of logic-level optical interconnect: reflections on an experiment
Centimeter-range high-density optical interconnect between chips is coming into reach with current optical interconnect technology. Many theoretical studies have identified several good reasons why to use such types of interconnect as a replacement of various layers of the traditional electronic interconnect hierarchy. However, the true feasibility and usefulness of optical interconnects can on...
متن کاملDemonstrating POF based optoelectronic inter- connect in a multi-FPGA prototype system
The goal of our work is demonstrating the viability of massively parallel optical interconnect between electronic CMOS VLSI chips. Here we describe the definition and realisation of a systems architecture in which these interconnections can play a meaningful role. The architecture is a multi-FPGA system with low level optoelectronic interconnects introduced into the FPGA chips. A demonstrator r...
متن کاملReconfigurable Optical Interconnects for Computer Vision Applications
We evaluate the advantages of reconfigurable optical interconnects within massively parallel systems due to their ability to provide versatile application-dependent network configurations. Furthermore, they are being considered as alternatives to electronic interconnects within high-performance computers because of their advantages of high bandwidth, low wire density and low power requirement a...
