A device is disclosed that features a hybrid electro-photonic integrated circuit devices that include an electronic circuit layer mounted on a photonic circuit layer. In one aspect, a device includes a photonic circuit layer that includes a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, waveguides, and photonic portions of electro-optical transceivers. The device includes an electronic circuit layer that includes a plurality of electronic integrated circuits (EICs) tiled together. Each EIC includes computing components, a first surface, a second surface opposite the first surface, electrical portions of electro-optical transceivers, and electrical channels. The device includes a crossbar switch that includes interconnects that electrically couple each EIC with each other adjacent EIC that is adjacent to the EIC. The interconnects include a set of bumps between the electronic circuit layer and the photonic circuit layer.
