Current wireless technology cannot support the bandwidth required by 2020 higher frequency bands should be used, e.g., 60 – 90 GHz and up

Keeping Moore’s Law on track:Processors beyond 2020

The challenge• Multi-core processors:

100s of cores by 2020;• Electrical interconnects on

chip power hungry;• Spintronic memory

commercial, but power consuming;

The research• Photonic network-on-chip;• Photonics-assisted or all-

optical STT-RAM.
