Hardware
Ayar Labs is a silicon photonics-based interconnects company that replaces electrical interconnects with high-speed, light-based links between chips. The company’s flagship product, TeraPHY, is an optical chiplet that allows other chips to transfer 8 Tbps of bandwidth at extremely low latencies (10 nanoseconds) and superior power efficiency compared to current conventional solutions. With this solution, Ayar Labs aims to eliminate the intra-GPU and inter-GPU communication bottlenecks that currently plague distributed AI systems and offer a solution to surmount the memory wall problem.
