The volume o f short-reach links (less than a few cm) has exploded to facilitate high-b andwidth data movement between compute engines and memory in the AI era. T his massive growth will continue as the industry moves towards highly-para llelized die-to-die interfaces to support chiplet-based architectures. How ever\, power efficiency in these links is of paramount importance to maint ain reasonable power levels within a compute drawer. This talk will focus on trends and advancements in power-efficient short reach links that aim t o maximize the shoreline bandwidth density. Multi-disciplinary approaches involving circuit innovations\, architectural advancements\, data signalin g techniques\, and packaging technologies are required to deliver linear b andwidth densities above 1 Tbps/mm at power efficiencies below 500 fJ/bit. \n\nSpeaker: Dr. Timothy (Tod) Dickson\nPrincipal Research Scientist @ IBM T.J.
