HIGH-SPEED OPTICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN CENTRAL PROCESSING UNIT AND REMOTELY LOCATED RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
摘要
A data transmission assembly includes a first connection terminal coupled to a processing unit and a second connection terminal coupled to a random access memory (RAM) resource. The data transmission assembly also includes a first electrical/optical (EO) signal converter and a second EO signal converter. The first EO signal converter is coupled to the first connection terminal and the second EO signal converter is coupled to the second connection terminal. The data transmission assembly also includes an optical signal propagation medium with a first end and a second end. The first end is attached to the first EO signal converter, and the second end is attached to the second EO signal converter. The signal propagation medium carries signals between the first connection terminal and the second connection terminal to support memory accesses performed by the processing unit to access data at memory locations within the RAM resource.
