Today’s computing and communications applications demand unprecedented processing power and high-bandwidth memory access. Data traveling at the speed of light is shaping up to be the solution.

In data centers, GPUs often transfer terabytes of data per second between one another during AI training and inferencing, far exceeding the limits of traditional copper-based interconnects that max out at hundreds of megabits per second. Optical interconnects have emerged as a solution to meet these demands, slinging data at speeds of up to 100 Gb/s using beams of light. But designing and verifying such complex systems requires advanced simulation tools to model their performance and ensure seamless integration of components.
