Marvell Technology(@MarvellTech):The choice of optical interconnect architecture has significant implications for bandwidth, power, cost, and deployment flexibility as GPU clusters grow in size and complexity. Pluggable optics offer ecosystem maturity and operational simplicity. Co-packaged optics offer bandwidth density and power efficiency. Near-packaged optics sits between the two. At @ECOC_Exhibition, Marvell Vice President of Connectivity Lian Qin will present a comparative analysis of all three approaches, examining performance, power consumption, serviceability, ecosystem readiness, and total cost of ownership, and exploring how NPO addresses the evolving requirements of AI scale-up infrastructure.
