    Abstract: A system and method for efficient data transfer in a computing system are described. A computing system includes multiple nodes that receive tasks to process. A bridge interconnect transfers data between two processing nodes without the aid of a system bus on the motherboard. One of the multiple bridge interconnects of the computing system is an optical bridge interconnect that transmits optical information across the optical bridge interconnect between two nodes. The receiving node uses photonic integrated circuits to translate the optical information into electrical information for processing by electrical integrated circuits. One or more nodes switch between using an optical bridge interconnect and a non-optical bridge interconnect based on one or more factors such as measured power consumption and measured data transmission error rates.

    Abstract: A thermal management system includes an integrated circuit having an active side including a control circuit and a backside including a first set of electrodes distributed across the backside. The thermal management system includes a heat exchanger having a surface including a second set of electrodes. The thermal management system includes a thermal interface material including thermally conductive particles suspended in a fluid. The thermal interface material is disposed between the backside of the integrated circuit and the surface of the heat exchanger. The control circuit is configured to apply an electric field to the thermal interface material using a first electrode of the first set of electrodes and a second electrode of the second set of electrodes to excite at least some of the thermally conductive particles between the first electrode and the second electrode.
