Ultra-compact photonic AI chip operates at the speed of light
Australian researchers have built an ultra-compact artificial intelligence (AI) chip that is able to make calculations using the power of light, at the speed of light. The nano photonic chip prototype, which harnesses the power of light particles (photons) is built completely in-house at the Sydney Nano Hub at the University of Sydney. The researchers say the prototype could play an important role in developing more energy-efficient AI hardware …
For decades, chips have been like highways for electrons: tiny charged particles that are pushed through microscopic cables to represent zeros and ones. That traffic has a known consequence: energy is lost in the form of heat, just like a charger that warms up when we demand it. In large systems, such as data centers, that dissipation becomes a problem of scale: more power, more heat, more cooling; more cooling, more energy and, in many cases, m…
