Deal brings optical connections to Sun supercomputer | CNET News.com
The server specialist will use technology from Luxtera, a 40-person start-up based in Carlsbad, Calif., to connect chips directly via optical links, the companies plan to announce Monday. The alliance will use Luxtera's silicon ring modulator, which chops up light into photons that can carry data and which can be integrated into silicon chips.
