Abstract

We review the progress and challenges in scaling computing systems; discuss the potential benefits and challenges for achieving optical-interconnects to the chip via the native integration of silicon photonics components with VLSI electronics; and introduce the "macrochip" - a collection of contiguous silicon chips enabled by optical proximity communication
