An Overview of Data Movement in AI/ML Systems and Their Impact on Interconnects
This talk will provide an overview of how system topologies, workloads and AI algorithms drive specific demands for system interconnects for data movement. A state-of-the-art summary of leading interconnect solutions will provide the audience with an update on how copper and optical interconnects stand to solve these problems. The second portion of the talk will focus on upcoming trends and technologies for future systems, such as classical optical and in-memory computing, as well as packaging and thermo-mechanical challenges.
