The OPU
The Optoelectronic Processing Unit (OPU) is a bidirectional architectural primitive that defines the boundary between digital system fabrics and optical interconnects. Complementary OPU-TX and OPU-RX units respectively generate and terminate spatial optical signals, consolidating optical modulation, detection, aggregation, and conditioning into dedicated processing units. By decoupling optical fabric handling from compute silicon, OPU enables optical-native scale-up architectures with higher bandwidth density, lower energy per bit, and greater system modularity.
2DLink Architecture
2DLink is a spatially interleaved, geometry-preserving communication architecture that expresses bandwidth through spatial parallelism rather than temporal acceleration. By removing the requirement for serialization, clock recovery, and high-speed analog frontends, 2DLink repositions communication as a fabric property rather than a specialized subsystem.
