“What we’re not doing is competing with Nvidia and AMD and the hyperscalers,” he stated. “We have a technology platform that we’re making available to them to improve the performance of their systems, to improve the interconnectivity bandwidth, the resulting performance, latency and power consumption.

Since the cost per gigabyte of memory capacity is going through the roof, Photonic Fabric looks at the other side of the coin and offers light, photonics and optical connectors across AI acceleration systems for growing workloads. This makes it an ideal stepping stone in the AI field, according to Lazovsky.

“There’s two drivers for the package getting bigger. It’s an increase in the compute horsepower per package, but also increasingly so, there’s a need for more and more high bandwidth memory across AI acceleration systems,” he said. “By eliminating the use of GPU as the world’s most expensive memory controller, if you don’t need the flops and you’re just buying GPUs for memory capacity, there’s a more efficient way to do it.”
