Our take
Copper has been the industry standard for chip-to-chip interconnects since it was introduced by IBM back in 1997. Now, however, the computational demands of more complex systems like AI, machine learning, and cloud systems are too high: copper interconnects are creating bottlenecks thanks to sub-optimal latency and power consumption.
Avicena Tech has developed a new system - and it could be a game changer. It uses micro-LEDs to create ultra-dense, low-latency, low-cost, and low-power optical interconnects, thereby facilitating the kind of high-performance architecture that’s in increasingly high demand.
It’s a solution that’s attracted healthy funding from major players including Samsung Catalyst Fund and Cerberus Capital Management. This suggests substantial faith in Avicena’s ambition that its technology could help unlock the future of distributed high-performance computing. Recently, the company launched the world’s first microLED optical interconnect evaluation kit, showing that it is at the forefront of the sector.
