- Silicon Photonic WDM Point-to-Point Network for Multi-Chip Processor Interconnects
- Processor performance in instructions per second continues to rise. But the improvement is no longer coming from increasing clock rates due to the associated power, heat and design complexity costs. Instead, parallelism through multi-core processing has become the technology choice to continue processor performance scaling. Processors with 8 cores and...

- Towards low-cost LED lighting
- You all know that incandescent bulbs are pretty inefficient, converting only 10% of electricity into light -- and 90% into heat. Light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, could soon replace incandescent and compact fluorescent bulbs in our homes. They are more efficient and environmentally friendly. But LED lights are currently too expensive...

- Technology Brief: Carrier Vs. Enterprise Ethernet Silicon
- Ethernet has been the dominant networking protocol in Local Area Networks LANs due to its high bandwidth, ease of use, and low cost. Until recently, its success in LANs has not translated to communications networks due to limitations in Ethernet's scalability, reliability, and manageability. With the latest developed standards and...
