World's first optical FPGA technology demo from Altera
World's first optical FPGA technology demo from Altera
As data rates approach 100-Gbps and beyond, significantly more bandwidth is required for next-generation applications in the computer and storage, communication infrastructure, and broadcast markets. By integrating programmable devices and optical transceivers within a single package, Altera's Optical FPGA technology can break through the reach, power, port density, cost, and circuit board complexity limitations of copper-based and conventional optical solutions.
This will allow FPGA users to utilize the high bandwidth and compact size advantages of parallel optical interfaces that are currently used in data centers."
