Abstract :
Amdahlpsilas law suggests that a system with balanced computation and communications perform the best under most circumstance-a 10 Teraflop chip would require an interconnect bandwidth of 100 Tb/s. We discuss low power and high productivity computing enabled by nanophotonic interconnects on chip.
