SUMMARY:Photonic Interconnects for Extreme Scale Computing
DESCRIPTION:Workshop\nArchitectures, Data Analytics, Graph Algorithms, Wor
 kshop Reg Pass\n\nPhotonic Interconnects for Extreme Scale Computing\n\nGl
 ick\n\nThe capabilities of large-scale high performance computing systems,
  either as supercomputers or warehouse scale data centers, are increasingl
 y pervasive in different areas of modern life, from weather predictions to
  film and fashion recommendations. New applications using data intensive c
 omputations are putting more stress on the interconnection network at the 
 same time that Moore’s Law is slowing. advances in transistor density. As 
 a consequence, the high bandwidth interconnects, essential for maintaining
  computation performance, are representing an increasing portion of the to
 tal energy and cost budgets.\n\nIt is widely accepted that new approaches
  are required to meet the new challenges. Photonic interconnection network
 s, with recent advances in integrated silicon photonics offer an opportuni
 ty to overcome limitations of conventional electrical wires to solve bottl
 enecks and improve interconnect performance. Beyond alleviating the bandwi
 dth and energy bottlenecks, embedded photonics can enable new disaggregate
 d architectures that leverage the distance independence of optical transmi
 ssion. In this talk, I will present an overview of recent photonic advance
 s and discuss how we can use emerging photonics technologies to increase r
 esource utilization and reduce energy consumption.
