Transforming the Future of HPC with Silicon Photonics
Thursday, November 17, 2022
10:30 AM–12 PM CST

Photonic components have been the technology just around the corner for a decade now. While optical network fibers are rapidly gaining traction in system networks, the question now shifts to shorter distances. Emerging silicon photonics make large promises in drastically increasing chip escape bandwidth density, reducing latency, and in many cases reducing energy per bit. But will error rates wipe out any potential benefits? Do we have to redesign our system or re-write parts of our applications? This panel brings together experts from industry and academia to share their views on how we can design systems around emerging silicon photonics, what their current level of maturity is, and what the future holds for silicon photonics in HPC.

Panelists include Mark Wade, CTO, SVP of engineering, and co-founder at Ayar Labs, as well as representatives from Columbia University, DARPA, NVIDIA, DOE, Intel, and USC. The panel will be moderated by John Shalf of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
