Research Bits: Dec. 22


Photonic memory Researchers from the University of Southern California Information Sciences Institute and the University of Wisconsin-Madison fabricated a regenerative photonic latch memory on GlobalFoundries’ commercial silicon photonics platform, a step towards building a complete photonic SRAM system. The memory cell can store data as light and regenerate the signal to keep it stable a... » read more

Photonic SRAM Facilitating Electro-Optic Data Storage For Ultra-Fast IMC (UW-Madison, USC)


A new technical paper titled "X-pSRAM: A Photonic SRAM with Embedded XOR Logic for Ultra-Fast In-Memory Computing" was published by researchers at University of Wisconsin–Madison and USC. Abstract "Traditional von Neumann architectures suffer from fundamental bottlenecks due to continuous data movement between memory and processing units, a challenge that worsens with technology scaling ... » read more
