Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZMSilicon Photonics Enabling Exascale Data Networks
SPeeD
As part of SPEED, two types of 400Gb/s transceivers are being designed on silicon ICs to serve applications both between and within data centres.
Motivation:
- Dramatic increase in data traffic
- Need for a more reliable hardware for data centres
- Trend: Smaller, faster, cheaper
- Opto-electronic transceiver: The link between transmitting and processing data
- Current standard: 40G and 100G
- Ambition for SPeeD: 400Gund Datenprocessing
- Aktueller Standard: 40G und 100G
- Ziel in SPeeD: 400G
