Re-configurable Photonic Interconnects for AI/ML Infrastructure - Building DX Fabric for Data Centers
Open Compute Project via YouTube
Overview
Learn about innovative photonic interconnect technology in this 18-minute conference talk from William Koss, CEO of Drut Technologies. Explore the DynamicXcelerator (DX Fabric) system, designed for disaggregated photonic data centers as an alternative to traditional electrical packet switched architectures. Discover how this revolutionary approach separates compute, storage, GPUs, and networking components into distinct resource pools connected through high-speed photonic interconnects. Understand the environmental benefits of using photonic switching instead of electrical switching, including reduced power consumption and improved heat and cooling metrics. Gain insights into the challenges of building all-photonic infrastructure and examine various design implementations for AI/ML applications.
