为何重要

Lightmatter计划利用新筹集资金,为其Passage芯片在数据中心的大规模部署做好准备。该芯片为人工智能和高性能计算工作负载提供动力。光子半导体处理数据的速度明显快于传统硬件。通过使用光,Lightmatter的硬件允许数据在长距离上快速传输而无信号丢失。传统硬件则难以应对高带宽数据移动,尤其是在大规模AI模型上。相比之下,Lightmatter的3D堆栈光子芯片在保持性能的同时高效移动数据。该公司声称其芯片的I/O带宽高出十倍,帮助数据中心满足大型语言模型日益增长的需求。

“我们不仅仅是在推进AI基础设施——我们是在彻底改造它,”Lightmatter联合创始人兼首席执行官尼克·哈里斯表示。“凭借Passage,全球最快的光子引擎,我们正在为性能设定新标准,并打破限制AI计算的障碍。这笔资金将加速我们的规模化能力,在今天就交付未来的超级计算机。” 另见: FCC 以许可限制支持光纤建设者.
