Publication number: 20240111094Abstract: Described herein are photonic communication platforms that can overcome the memory bottleneck problem, thereby enabling scaling of memory capacity and bandwidth well beyond what is possible with conventional computing systems. Some embodiments provide photonic communication platforms that involve use of photonic modules. Each photonic module includes programmable photonic circuits for placing the module in optical communication with other modules based on the needs of a particular application. The architecture developed by the inventors relies on the use of common photomask sets (or at least one common photomask) to fabricate multiple photonic modules in a single wafer. Photonic modules in multiple wafers can be linked together into a communication platform using optical or electronic means.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 1, 2023Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Lightmatter, Inc.Inventors: Nicholas C. Harris, Carl Ramey, Michael Gould, Thomas Graham, Darius Bunandar, Ryan Braid, Mykhailo Tymchenko

Publication number: 20230308188Abstract: Photonic interposers that enable low-power, high-bandwidth inter-chip (e.g., board-level and/or rack-level) as well as intra-chip communication are described. Described herein are techniques, architectures and processes that improve upon the performance of conventional computers. Some embodiments provide photonic interposers that use photonic tiles, where each tile includes programmable photonic circuits that can be programmed based on the needs of a particular computer architecture. Some tiles are instantiations of a common template tile that are stitched together in a 1D or a 2D arrangement. Some embodiments described herein provide a programmable physical network designed to connect pairs of tiles together with photonic links.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2023Publication date: September 28, 2023Applicant: Lightmatter, Inc.Inventors: Carlos Dorta-Quinones, Ryan Braid, Anthony Kopa, Michael Gould, Nathaniel Bowman, Karl C.
