Abstract
Future single-board multi-socket systems may be unable to
deliver the needed memory bandwidth electrically due to
power limitations, which will hurt their ability to drive performance improvements. Energy efficient o ff-chip silicon
photonics could be used to deliver the needed bandwidth,
and it could be extended on-chip to create a relatively flat network topology. That
flat network may make it possible to implement the same number of cores with a greater
number of small dies for a cost advantage with negligible
performance degradation.
