Rethink Computing: Pioneering Next-Level Architectures for Sustainable AI and HPC
DescriptionAs AI and high performance computing (HPC) demands surge, traditional electronic architectures are hitting their limits. This panel explores the next wave of computing, spotlighting photonic computing—a revolutionary approach that uses light instead of electrons to achieve unprecedented energy efficiency, bandwidth, and computational density. We will position photonic computing within a broader landscape of emerging technologies, including heterogeneous ecosystems that blend digital chips (CPUs, GPUs, TPUs) and analogue or quantum systems. Panelists will examine the challenges of power consumption, data movement, and integration with current infrastructures, offering insights into how next-generation architectures can meet AI and HPC demands while advancing environmental sustainability. The discussion will highlight key steps for moving photonic computing from lab-scale innovation to industrial-scale deployment, and address the status, challenges, and opportunities for integrating these technologies into today’s computing infrastructure and industry standards.
