Definition

The term, in context

AI-assisted draft · approved dataset

Lightmatter Passage L200 is a photonic interconnect chiplet that moves data between processor dies using light traveling through integrated waveguides instead of electrical signals traveling through copper traces. Using optical rather than electrical links for chip-to-chip communication increases the achievable bandwidth and reduces the energy cost per bit moved as systems connect more compute chiplets together.
