Good news is, we know the resonant wavelength is sensitive to temperature. * However, nanophotonics is not all for free. There are various power components that are distance independent. To have an idea of the tradeoff here, let’s look at a die with projected 256 cores connected in concentrated mesh. Neighboring links are 2.5 mm. For such links, conventional buffered RC lines will cost 100 fJ/bit, while the stacked power for nanophotonics will be around 400fJ/b. Intuition tells us, we probably do not want to use optical signaling for short links. * * * Take this 64 core chip multiprocesso
