Shining Light on Interconnect Trends Shaping Tomorrow’s Data Centers

Wednesday, 02 April, 15:15 – 16:15

Theater II

As high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI) applications push the boundaries of system performance, platform architects look for any advantage to further optimize the network. Interconnects serve as the backbone for data transfer between processors, memory, and other components, influencing the overall system performance. From the confidence of copper solutions to the promise of optical opportunities, Amphenol is one of the world’s largest suppliers of high-technology connectors, cabling, sensor, and antenna products. This presentation will explore the evolving landscape of interconnect technologies, discussing the advantages and challenges of both copper and optical interconnects in the context of HPC and AI applications
