We expect that many-core microprocessors will push performance per chip from the 10 gigaflop to teraflop range in coming decade. To support this increased performance, memory and inter-core bandwidths also have scale by orders of magnitude. Pin limitations, energy cost electrical signaling, non-scalability chip-length global wires are significant bandwidth impediments. Recent developments silicon nanophotonic technology potential meet these off- on-stack requirements at acceptable power...
