Abstract
In the post-Moore’s law era, dedicated digital accelerators have played an indispensable role in the success of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and their applications in artificial intelligence (AI). As the complexity of ANNS grows, analog electrical and optical computing are being considered as alternatives for achieving sustainable scalability and energy efficiency. In this talk we will present photonic accelerators that can potentially provide orders of magnitude increases in scalability and energy efficiency towards brain-like AI with hundred billion-neuron neural processing power.
