Company Background Information

Overview

We develop optical connectivity solutions to scale computing and A.I. The resurgence of chip investments has driven an upward inflection in the performance of individual compute chips, but the ability of those chips to communicate with one-another has not kept pace. Communication, not computation, is now the system level bottleneck in large-scale computing and AI applications.
