Tohoku University will participate in a project as a subcontractor after the "Photonics-electronic convergence interface memory module technology" jointly proposed by Kioxia Corporation and NTT was adopted in NEDO Project for Research and Development of Enhanced Infrastructures for Post 5G Information and Communications Systems.
In the IOWN initiative promoted by NTT, data centers require disaggregated computing, which connects multiple computing resources (such as CPUs and GPUs) directly to optical interconnects in order to efficiently process a wide variety of realtime requests from multiple users. Additionally, memory must be shared by multiple computing resources to improve usage efficiency.
In this technology development, Tohoku University has subcontracted part of the technology development of photonic fabric attached memory module (PFAM), which realizes memory that can be accessed by broadband optical access from multiple computing resources via optical interconnect.
