Jeff Clarke's keynote highlighted the pressing challenges in the tech landscape, with 83% of data created on-premises and 50% at the edge. The forecast of an 8x surge in data center consumption by 2030 underscores the need for innovative solutions. Clarke emphasized the absence of a one-size-fits-all approach as we navigate these obstacles. One solution highlighted was the Broadcom Tomahawk 5 chip and switch with a transceiver, reducing power needs by 70%. There were other exciting advancements from Meta's Llama 3 to Hugging Face Dell Enterprise Hub as we look to tackle these industry-wide challenges.

OPTICA PECC Summit 2024: Novice View Point 💡 The Optica PECC Summit 2024, hosted by Synopsys Inc in Sunnyvale, brought together over 200 participants from across the supply chain to tackle the key challenges and explore emerging solutions in data centre connectivity. Industry heavyweights like NVIDIA, Meta, IBM, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Arista Networks and GlobalFoundries among many others took on pressing topics, from LPO vs. CPO vs. NPO debates to optical interconnects, coherent optics, and quantum computing. Julie Adams of IBM highlighted the need for standards in testing and packaging. And there was plenty of discussion around new materials for high-speed modulators by Lightwave Logic, Inc. and Pouya D. from Quantum Computing, Inc. along with advances in fiber optic by Aleksandra Boskovic from Corning Incorporated. As someone new to this field and still getting my head around the intricacies of 1.6T links, I’ll leave the deep technical analysis to the experts. Chris Maloney & Dr. Patrick Heißler have already shared their insights. What I can share is a broad view on the main themes. The tone was set by the first two speakers: Nicolaas Viljoen from Meta kicked things off with a no-nonsense breakdown of the massive cost of cluster downtime, and how, at least for the next 2-5 years, latency is not as critical as we might think. Their key point? Reliability and power efficiency are going to be essential for wider AI adoption of optical technology. That message was echoed by several speakers throughout the day. NVIDIA added a third piece to the puzzle: cost. Roughly quoting M. Ashkan Seyedi, “I’ll give you a chance if your solution is 2-3X the cost of current tech, but not if it’s 10X.” In the end, it’s clear that any solution meeting all three criteria—reliability, power efficiency, and an acceptable price point—will win, whether for specific applications or across the entire connectivity ecosystem. Thanks to Melissa Kallos from the Advanced Photonics Coalition for co-organising this successful event I would love to hear what others took away from this event. Let’s keep sharing—there’s so much to learn! #PECCSummit2024 #DataCenter #OpticalNetworking #Connectivity

Mission accomplished!  After traveling 🚗 across 7 cities, attending 16 meetings, and covering 1.242 miles across the entire DACH region, we wrapped up an intense and rewarding tour. Joined by Daniel Hodge, our newly appointed Global Partner Technology Officer, we reconnected with our valued ISG Focus Partners and Value Add Distributors. Together, we delved into some of the most exciting innovations from #DellTech. We discussed everything from our #multicloud solutions and the game-changing Dell AI Factory to #PowerFlex as the universal storage layer and the business benefits of #PowerStore. Of course, we also explored how our strategic partnerships with #NVIDIA, #Intel, AMD, RedHat, and #Microsoft drive significant value. The DACH region is where we see huge potential for solutions across #AI, #storage, and #multicloud, and it’s no surprise Dan started from here. Partners are critical to our success, and together, we’re driving business growth with groundbreaking innovations. Educated and empowered partners are key to unlocking success in this rapidly evolving industry. The future belongs to those who collaborate and innovate together.  We’re committed to providing the tools, resources, and support to fuel this journey! #DellTechEMEA #iWork4Dell 

Competition drives innovation. Yet the silicon industry is full of contradictions. In our latest blog, Alicia Daleiden explores how these tensions play out in chip design and how it's shaping the industry.

Alphawave Semi partners with Arm and Keysight Technologies for the 2025 Chiplet Summit, January 21–23, at the Santa Clara Convention Center. Showcasing leadership in UCIe™, HBM, and next-gen compute and I/O chip technologies, the company highlights its role in advancing the chiplet ecosystem. At the show, CTO, Dr. Tony Chan Carusone, will deliver a keynote on ‘Scaling Connectivity for Chiplet-Based AI Systems,’ while the company’s technical experts present papers/tutorials on die-to-die interfaces, focusing on the open UCIe standard. Letizia Giuliano, VP of IP Product Marketing & Management, will also participate in a panel debate on the opportunities and challenges of making chiplets the most viable IC development model. Visitors to booth #500 will have the opportunity to explore new advances reducing networking bottlenecks in data centers.
