Optical communication for memory disaggregation in high performance computing

Abstract

The technology generally relates to disaggregating memory from an application specific integrated circuit (“ASIC”) package. For example, a high-bandwidth memory (“HBM”) optics module package may be connected to an ASIC package via one or more optical links. The HBM optics module package may include HBM dies(s), HBM chiplet(s) and an optical chiplet. The optical chiplet may be configured to connect the HBM optics module to one or more optical fibers that form an optical link with one or more other components of the ASIC package. By including an optical chiplet in the HBM optics module package, the HBM optics module package may be disaggregated from an ASIC package.
