Chip at the end of the optical fiber
Shanghai University for Science and Technology in China
Artificial intelligence chips, smaller than salt grains, can stop at the edge of optical fibers, leveraging optical physics to process information passing through the fibers, and with much less energy than typical AI technology. Uses calculation power.
Optical fibers can carry data at the speed of light, but decoding of these optical signals usually occurs in slower, more energy-intensive external computing devices. The new AI chip allows its data processing tasks to be performed faster…
