    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed toward techniques and configurations for an optical accelerator including a photonics integrated circuit (PIC) for an optical neural network (ONN). In embodiments, an optical accelerator package includes the PIC and an electronics integrated circuit (EIC) that is heterogeneously integrated into the optical accelerator package to proximally provide pre- and post-processing of optical signal inputs and optical signal outputs provided to and received from an optical matrix multiplier of the PIC. In some embodiments, the EIC is a single EIC or discrete EICs to provide pre- and post-processing of the optical signal inputs and optical signal outputs including optical to electrical and electrical to optical transduction. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
