Lightmatter has launched the Passage M1000, a silicon photonic interposer aiming to address the increasing bandwidth demands for chip-to-chip communications in dense AI deployments. Scheduled for shipping this summer, the Passage M1000 targets AI accelerators and high-bandwidth multi-die switches, boasting capabilities of petabits per second. Unlike traditional designs, this interposer allows for enhanced communication between multiple stacked ASICs and GPU dies through optical transmission, making use of wave guides and 256 fiber optic connection points to enable greater bandwidth across the chip surfaces.
Lightmatter unveils the Passage M1000, a silicon photonic interposer aimed at enhancing chip-to-chip bandwidth for AI applications by utilizing optical data transmission.
Lightmatter's optical interposer can support high-bandwidth, multi-die switches with petabit capacities, significantly improving communications across chip packages.
This design allows data to move vertically across the entire chip surface, providing greater aggregate bandwidth than traditional limitations within processor packages.
By implementing wave guides and 256 fiber optic attach points, Lightmatter's technology addresses the increasing bandwidth demands needed for advanced AI deployments.
