ABSTRACT

Recent trends show an explosion in the amount of data being created each year.  In response to this trend new system architectures optimized for data-centric workloads are being developed.  These architectures can only be brought to fruition by developing new technologies to transmit, compute, and store data. This seminar will focus on the impact of photonics, silicon photonics in particular, on these trends and discuss the work being done at HP Labs to advance these technologies.
