Session 6 overview: Technologies for high-speed data networks: Technology directions subcommittee

Increasing data rates require the use of a number of technologies to achieve high data throughput while minimizing power consumption. The papers in this session showcase industry-led innovations that underpin future high-speed data networks. The first paper maximizes inter-chip data rates while lowering power consumption for memory architectures in high-speed switches. The second paper utilizes advanced DSP techniques to enable high-capacity optical networking systems. The third paper demonstrates the integration of high-performance data converters with 28nm FPGAs. The first and third papers also demonstrate the benefits of 3D integration.
