Optical link design for GPU-to-GPU interconnects

This internship focuses on the design and evaluation of silicon photonic optical interconnects for hyperscale GPU clusters, targeting high-bandwidth GPU-to-GPU data transfer. The work will investigate end-to-end photonic link architectures for ultra-high-baud-rate optical transmitters and receivers, with an emphasis on realistic system-level modeling and performance evaluation. In addition, the student will explore and develop novel figures of merit that accurately capture link performance, scalability, and system limitations.
