What we do

Photonic interconnect for memory disaggregation, and the packaged optical engines that carry it.

Memory Disaggregation over Photonic Interconnect

Break the memory wall: pool capacity and bandwidth away from the compute die and reach it over light, at rack scale and with near-local latency.

  • AOPHBM4: our photonic HBM4 interface, moving high-bandwidth memory traffic off copper and onto an optical link
  • Scale-up: disaggregated memory pools shared across accelerators in the same rack, without per-node overprovisioning
  • Scale-out: optical die-to-die and die-to-memory reach beyond the package, from co-packaged optics to rack-to-rack

Packaged optical engines

Packaged optical engines that put the light where the bandwidth is needed, from the front panel to inside the package.

  • CPO: co-packaged optics, with the optical engine in the same package as the switch or accelerator die, cutting electrical reach to millimetres
  • XPO: extra-dense pluggable optics, for front-panel density without moving the optics inside the package
  • NPO: near-package optics, with engines on the substrate beside the ASIC as the step between pluggable and fully co-packaged
  • Open CPX: an open, multi-vendor co-packaged form factor, keeping the optical engine interoperable across suppliers
