Avago Technologies announced a meeting at the SC11 supercomputing show can be used for the emerging high performance computing (HPC) applications offer industry-leading bandwidth parallel optics technology. Avago show is its small size MicroPOD ™ and MiniPOD ™ embedded parallel optical transmitter and receiver modules,
IC Electronic Components can provide 120 gigabit per second (Gbps) of bandwidth, and technical support and other companies, cloud computing and virtual server applications provide the required data transmission capacity.
PLX Technology and the joint on-site demonstration shows the use of Avago MiniPOD industry’s first technology to PC and I / O expansion box connected to the PCI Express (PCIe) Gen3-end fiber optic link. In another mechanical samples also show the use of Avago MicroPOD optical technology of the Altera FPGA concept. Avago in this November 14-17 at the Washington State Convention Center SC11 demo will be available in addition to mechanical samples, will also showcase its wide range of industry-standard pluggable module types, Booth 5315 .
“Avago is committed to innovation and technology companies, such as PLX and Altera cooperation, expand the device to the device, board to board and chip-to-chip optical connections,” Avago Fiber Products Division marketing director Victor Krutul said. “Our embedded parallel optical modules provide unmatched bandwidth and interconnect density, is conducive to high performance computing applications, and cloud computing and virtual server to create the future.”
PCIe demo shows MiniPOD technology uses a PLX ® PEX8748 PCIe Gen3 switch, 64 Gbps bi-directional in the case of fully connected, so that the device to pass data between devices extend up to 30 meters. Optical PCIe provides outstanding data center solutions, due to the complexity of the standard conversion to eliminate the delay, so that the application of PCIe technology has been extended.
“Our partnership with Avago’s optical solution is the excellent performance of the application into the PCIe Gen3,” PLX’s senior director of hardware applications that Reggie Conley. “Our PCIe Gen3 technology is a new generation of data centers for maximum throughput and easy plug and play functionality.”
Altera’s FPGA concept for optical as HPC, distributed server clusters, multi-chassis network switches and routers, and high-speed backplane applications. The technology combines programmable logic, advanced SERDES, and the advantages of high-density optical modules, can improve signal integrity and optical port density, and reduce the PCB size and power consumption.
MicroPOD and MiniPOD embedded parallel optics – the world’s highest bandwidth interconnect technology
Avago embedded parallel optical devices with industry-leading density and bandwidth. The optical module allows the device’s internal design more flexible, and without EMI / RFI shielding. These features help the next generation of supercomputers scientific breakthrough, and in high-performance routers, switches, and other providers of cloud computing, virtualization microchip pic and server applications such as video-on-demand data center equipment advantage.
Avago MicroPOD and MiniPOD embedded parallel optical modules with speeds up to 12 10.3125Gbps send or receive channels, each channel consumes only 125mW. MicroPOD device has an LGA electrical interface, size 8.2 mm x7.8 mm, suitable for ultra compact embedded solution, MiniPOD array uses 9 mm x9 mm MegArray ™ connector, the size of 22 mm x18.5 mm, embedded solutions for simplified and easy to manufacture.
