Abstract
A photonics-optimized multi-processor system may include a plurality of processor chips, each of the processor chips comprising at least one input/output (I/O) component. The multi-processor system may also include first and second photonic components. The at least one I/O component of at least one of the processor chips may be configured to directly drive the first photonic component and receive a signal from the second photonic component. A total latency from any one of the processor chips to data at any global memory location may not be dominated by a round trip speed-of-light propagation delay. A number of the processor chips may be at least 10,000, and the processor chips may be packaged into a total volume of no more than 8 m. A density of the processor chips may be greater than 1,000 chips per cubic meter.
