Marvell’s Dave Lazovsky is holding a tiny module that uses photonics to move high-bandwidth memory (HBM + DDR) as far as 50 meters away from the GPU. this can sit up to 50 meters from a GPU instead of the usual 1.5 mm. For the first time, memory no longer has to live right next
Marvell photonics module puts memory 50 meters from GPUs
Marvell's Dave Lazovsky shows a tiny photonics module that moves HBM and DDR memory up to 50 meters from a GPU, versus the usual 1.5 mm, freeing memory placement for the first time.
