That's not really an issue, since photonic devices are still orders of magnitude larger than modern transistors and getting anywhere close to the few-nm range can't really be done at optical wavelengths, it requires DUV or even XUV light and noone has figured out the materials yet for photonics at these wavelengths. At the moment, the only advantage is the low energy loss for linear operations as well as potentially much higher clock speeds than silicon (but then again you're speed-limited by silicon I/O and memory). The real breakthrough will come with actual photonic switching (that nonlinear stuff), but right now this requires phase-controlled few-cycle laser pulses (table-sized laser source) and probably plasmonic nanostructures to get enough field enhancement for nonlinear switching. If that kind of stuff can ever be integrated on a chip, you've got yourself a few-100-THz transistor...

I can't see raytracing as a viable task for this topology, because the data structures needed for that are insanely complex. The only operations that this accelerates are multiply-accumulate on straightforward data structures, or basically matrix multiplication, which is computationally intensive but structurally extremely simple. So neural networks are an excellent match. But you know what i bet is coming? Cryptocoin mining. Other uses this will potentially adapt to easily are uniform finite element analysis physics simulations, such as fluid dynamics and load bearing structures. The latter powers things such as generative design, where you specify load bearing surfaces, and have the CAD generate an optimised structure that solves a given mechanical task. Warning, if you have trypophobia (anxiety of holes), maybe don't google "generative design", and also don't google "trypophobia".

What is not mentioned here is that the calculations that can be performed here are lossy or have a limited signal/noise ratio because first it is D/A converted from electrical signals to optical radiation and then A/D converted back to electrical signals. The optical "processing" in between is just like a kind of "fourier optics" thing, a kind of instant convolution / correlation but with imperfections, or something that can be projected on it with reasonable benefit. There are applications for which the lossy and numerically unstable nature is acceptable, but for the majority of applications computers are used for it is not. As the whole AI and machine learning stuff is anyway a very fuzzy affair where no one expects deterministic results, this is consequently the market they say to bring some benefit to.
@nonconsensualopinion3 жыл бұрын
Why do you think they have any A/D conversion? Binary thresholded electrical signals being encoded into binary light pulses and then thresholded back to electric. It's no different than fiber optics. Nobody thinks that sending your data over a fiberoptic cable yields reduced numerical accuracy on the receiving machine.
@raymundhofmann76613 жыл бұрын
@@nonconsensualopinion Your lack of understanding lets me hope you don't work as an engineer. In fiber optics there is no intentional signal processing or alteration happening over the medium, if it is like multi mode reflections or parasitic reflections at couplers / connectors, then these are unwanted and corrected by digital error correction and digital / analog or even electro-optical transmission line equalizers. And these are relatively easy to correct, meaning using little processing and electrical power. This is by design and mainly a function of how much information has to be convoluted to check for transmission errors and correct them to very low accepted rates, which never are zero, btw. With this "photonic computing", whatever processing or function is going on in the medium, from electrical signal in to electrical signal out, which is a necessity simply because they advertise it can be integrated into a existing data center, more or less evades from any error correction. Do you know fourier optics? Do you know what a 4f correlator is? You can "optically calculate" a 2d fourier transform blazingly fast, basically at the speed of light, but you would also have to convert your data to optical (D/A) and then convert it back to digital (A/D). This combined with the optical imperfections of the used elements basically determines a signal to noise you might achieve, how lossy your processing function is. And there is no way to completely get rid of this except than doing the same calculation which happened in the "photonic computer" again on a classic computer. As said, a huge convolution of information would have to be done on the electronic side, basically the optical calculation repeated, to get to the wanted bit error rate, making the optical calculation redundant. Of course there could be some clever ways to improve on that with viable measures on the electronic sides of the "photonic computer", meaning to improve on the signal to noise or give the noise some characteristics more suitable for the intended application, but these definitely will not get rid of the noise, they will just make this lossy computing more viable for certain applications, but they will never rival the low and cheap to get error rates of classic computers. A classic computer is also lossy, has a error rate or a signal to noise if you want to say, but this can be made so amazingly low that human factors like human lifetime easily make the dominant "error rate".

Of course, this would require homomorphic error correction codes (i.e. codes that are preserved under evaluation of functions), which I don't know how much they are studied. But if photonic computation becomes big, I bet research in homomorphic error correction codes would become a big field

light travels at.... err speed of light, almost instantaneous. The only latency will be probably the DACs and ADCs for interfacing. Electrons also travel at the speed of light, but then the difference is how arithmetic is done. Just for addition of digital signals, you need to go through multiple steps (each step driven by a internal clock signal). But for analog, you just join two wires together and they just add up in one step. Yes, you can also do it with analog computing, but then you have to deal with external influence from EMF from other components and stuff, but light once sealed, you can't add or subtract signals from external sources.

It's kinda like how your graphics card is 100x faster then your computer. It doesn't matter though cause all the computer needs to do is feed it the problems and take the output. The output could be generated at normal computer readable speed but the problems would take a CPU much longer to solve. In AI for example you are multiplying a huge matrix by another huge matrix. A traditional computer would take forever to multiply and add each element. With one of these you can take a large chunk and do all that work in the light processor and just spit out the multiplied matrix segments at the computers read rate.

Intel and IBM have been doing minor research projects in optical computers for years, but there wasn't enough market for narrow-focus chips until neural networks became a thing, and the current state of optics requires designing narrow-focus chips, like tensor math chips. Also, highly controlled nano-scale photon generation is a pretty recent invention, and that has prevented optical circuits from keeping pace with silicon improvements. But a lot of improvements have happened over the last 10 years, and IBM has been increasing their photonics & optical computer division. If Lightmatter's product does what it says it does once its in the cloud, they will definitely be the target from the major players. But being a target doesn't guarantee that Lightmatter agrees to a buyout either.

The claims aren't so outlandish, actually. Vast majority of the inneficiency from current chips actually comes from moving data around inside the chips. As you miniaturize, resistance increases, you get more parastic loss and quantum effects, meaning you have to ramp up voltages to achieve the same frequencies. Just by moving to light-based data transport through waveguides you are already making huge savings in power (so, less waste heat), what also allows you to ramp up frequencies. Main issue is steering the monumental ship that is semiconductor technology to adopt a completely new paradigm in production.

I'm no expert, but I would imagine that it's due to the way that information is being transmitted. By the simple fact that electrons have mass where photons don't, the energy required to move one photon vs one electron is incomparable, so the energy required for the transmission of particles, as well as the heat build-up due to that transmission, is drastically lower. That leaves you with the energy requirement of generating a photon of energy, which can be done by simply moving an electron to a higher energy state where it will then release that energy in the form of photons. I'm not sure if that's how they are generating photons for their computing, but it does seem plausible. Of course, this is all coming from an EE dropout, so take it with a grain of salt lol. Definitely amazing tech though, I'm super excited to see what the next decade has in store for us.
