Humber IEEE WIE Competition

Room: J233A, Bldg: J, Humber College, 205 Humber College Blvd, Etobicoke, Ontario, Canada, M9W 5L7

Decided on "Smart Pillbox" project, Olga Leontiuk will be in charge of project with Raji. LED will flash correct pill to consume in dispense box. Project is due at the end of March. More students will join. Men are encouraged to assist with the WIE project. Meetings are in J233A on Thursdays from 12-3 pm.

THE ROLE OF CO-PACKAGED OPTICS IN OUR CONNECTED FUTURE

Room: GB119, Bldg: Galbraith Building, University of Toronto, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Progress in computation and communication is increasingly bottlenecked by integrated circuit I/0. CMOS technology scaling has enabled the integration of hundreds of complete modems operating over 100Gbps on a single chip. Whereas optical links were previously reserved for communication over 100's of kilometres, they are now the primary solution for chip-to-chip links above 100 Gbps over any distance beyond a few metres. Co-packaged optics (CPO) bring optics right to the perimeter of our electronic integrated circuits, and may therefore appear to be a natural continuation of this trend. Indeed, PO holds the promise of simultaneously lowering system power consumption, decreasing I/0 latency, and increasing the total bandwidth of chip I/O. And yet, at the same time, it has the potential to increase the power density, increase the cost, and limit the bandwidth density of our chio I/O. This talk will clarify these seeming contradictions, and paint a realistic picture of CPO's role in future connectivity.
