Glossary

Bisection bandwidth — The minimum bandwidth available between two equal-sized partitions of a network.

Cache-coherent interconnect — A system that helps data consistency between processors, accelerators, and memory in a SoC or MCM.

Chiplet — a modular building block of a larger integrated circuit or chip.

CMOS processing — a fabrication process used for chips, analog circuits, and transceivers.

Co-packaged optics (CPO) — the tight integration of optical and electrical components within the same package.

Coarse wavelength division multiplexing (CWDM)—a method for transmitting multiple data streams over a single optical fiber by using different light wavelengths spaced 20 nm apart.

Composable computing enables the dynamic assembly of computing resources tailored to the needs of performance-intensive workloads.

CXL — an open-standard interconnect technology that enables high-speed, low-latency communication between processors and accelerators.
