Lightelligence is using silicon photonics to connect 64 cores of its AI processor. But the company has bigger ambitions for its optical network-on-chip technology
Lightelligence has unveiled its optical network-on-chip designed to scale multiprocessor designs.
The start-up’s first product showcasing the technology is the Hummingbird, a system-in-package that combines Lightelligence’s 64-core artificial intelligence (AI) processor and a silicon photonics chip linking the processor’s cores.
