Oriole Networks, a London-based photonic systems start-up, announced its PRISM (Photonic Routing Infrastructure for Scalable Models) solution. PRISM is the world’s first pure photonic switched network designed for data centers, high-performance computing (HPC), and distributed deep learning (DDL) workloads.
In AI training and inference systems, it’s not the compute hardware slowing things down – it’s the memory and the network. Despite huge leaps in computing power, real-world performance often hits a wall, with only a small percentage of peak performance achieved due to network bottlenecks.
PRISM addresses network bottlenecks with higher throughput, lower and deterministic latency, reduced completion time and power…
