Data center and high performance computing interconnects for 100 Gb/s and beyond
Abstract
We review architectures enabling >100 Gb/s interconnects in data centers. Parallel optical interconnects are cost effective for rack to rack interconnects. On-board optical waveguides offer data rate scalability, density and performance advantages over electrical interconnects.
