    摘要: A computer memory system includes an electro-optical chip, an electrical fanout chip electrically connected to an electrical interface of the electro-optical chip, and at least one dual in-line memory module (DIMM) slot electrically connected to the electrical fanout chip. A photonic interface of the electro-optical chip is optically connected to an optical link. The electro-optical chip includes at least one optical macro that converts outgoing electrical data signals into outgoing optical data signals for transmission through the optical link. The optical macro also converts incoming optical data signals from the optical link into incoming electrical data signals and transmits the incoming electrical data signals to the electrical fanout chip. The electrical fanout chip directs bi-directional electrical data communication between the electro-optical chip and a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) DIMM corresponding to the at least one DIMM slot.

    摘要: A remote memory system includes a substrate of a multi-chip package, an integrated circuit chip connected to the substrate, and an electro-optical chip connected to the substrate. The integrated circuit chip includes a high-bandwidth memory interface. An electrical interface of the electro-optical chip is electrically connected to the high-bandwidth memory interface. A photonic interface of the electro-optical chip is configured to optically connect with an optical link. The electro-optical chip includes at least one optical macro that converts outgoing electrical data signals received through the electrical interface from the high-bandwidth interface into outgoing optical data signals. The optical macro transmits the outgoing optical data signals through the photonic interface to the optical link. The optical macro also converts incoming optical data signals received through the photonic interface into incoming electrical data signals. The optical macro transmits the incoming electrical data signals through the electrical interface to the high-bandwidth memory interface.
