The Integration of Silicon Photonics and VLSI Electronics for Computing and Switching Systems

چکیده
We review the potential benefits and challenges for achieving optical-interconnects to the chip via the native integration of silicon photonics components with VLSI electronics; and review the “macrochip” – a collection of contiguous silicon chips enabled by optical proximity communication. We summarize recent progress towards achieving low-power photonic links for the macrochip.

We review Sandia’s silicon photonics platform for government applications. Silicon photonics offers the potential for extensive size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-c) reductions compared to existing III-V or purely electronics circuits. The Sandia fabrication facility is certified as a trusted foundry and can therefore produce devices and circuits intended for military applications. We will des...
متن کاملImplementation of VlSI Based Image Compression Approach on Reconfigurable Computing System - A Survey
Image data require huge amounts of disk space and large bandwidths for transmission. Hence, imagecompression is necessary to reduce the amount of data required to represent a digital image. Thereforean efficient technique for image compression is highly pushed to demand. Although, lots of compressiontechniques are available, but the technique which is faster, memory efficient and simple, surely...
