Chip-scale light technology could power faster AI and data center communications
Researchers at Trinity have developed a new light-based technology on a tiny chip that could help make the data centers behind cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and global internet services faster and more efficient. In the new research, recently published in Nature Communications, the Trinity team reported one such promising advance with collaborators at the University of Bath and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (EPFL).
As technology advances, and the demand for faster, higher-bandwidth, and more energy-efficient data processing continues to grow, scientists and engineers search for ways to improve electronic systems. One avenue they have been exploring is optoelectronics—the study and application of electronic devices that interface with light by detecting, emitting, or converting…
Chip manufacturing is an “ideal application” for NVIDIA accelerated and AI computing, NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang said Tuesday. Detailing how the latest advancements in computing are accelerating “the world’s most important industry,” Huang spoke at ITF World 2023 semiconductor conference in Antwerp, Belgium. Huang delivered his remarks via…
NASA is testing a next-generation space computer chip that could give spacecraft the ability to operate far more independently in deep space. The radiation-hardened processor is showing performance levels hundreds of times beyond current spaceflight computers while surviving punishing tests designed to mimic the harsh conditions of space. The technology…
