Abstract :
We present the design of a silicon microsystem that utilizes dense, low-power photonic interconnects to enable a highly-compact supercomputer-scale system. We review recent progress in wavelength-division multiplexed, low-power silicon photonic interconnect components and discuss a future roadmap for the technology.
