Celestial AI to showcase Photonic Fabric

At the upcoming #OFC24 in San Diego, Celestial AI will showcase its Photonic Fabric which provides breakthrough optical interconnect for memory and compute to meet the increasingly challenging requirements of AI workloads. 

Celestial AI says its Memory Fabric technology delivers over 25x greater bandwidth and memory capacity while reducing latency and power consumption by up to 10x compared to existing copper and optical interconnect alternatives. It offer tens of terabytes of optically scalable memory capacity, supporting current HBM3e and future HBM4 bandwidth and latency requirements. The Compute Fabric enables clusters of hundreds of GPUs or AI accelerators to be optically interconnected with industry-leading bandwidth at extremely low latency and energy consumption.

Celestial AI raises $100M for its Photonic Fabric Optical Interconnect

Celestial AI, a start-up developing an optical interconnect for disaggregated, exascale compute and memory clusters, raised $100 million in Series B funding.Celestial AI is working on Optical Compute Interconnect (OCI) to enable disaggregation of scalable data center memory and accelerated computing.  The company says its Photonic Fabric is unconstrained by package beachfront limitations and can deliver data to any location on the compute die,...
