IBM sped up fiber traffic 16 times
Researchers from IBM, together with the military department of DARPA, have developed an optical transmitter that, thanks to 16 paths, is capable of shorting 16 times more data than existing analogues. It easily handles 160 gigabits per second for both input and output.
True, it is unlikely that a new microcircuit will go into mass production before 2010, and even then it will be used first not on the Internet, but on Blue Gene supercomputers, where it is useful for parallel computing.
In addition to increased performance, a miniature 3 × 5 mm microcircuit consumes five to ten times less energy than existing analogues.
