Short Reach Optical Interconnect

Short Reach Optical Interconnect (SROI) is a workstream of the OCP Future Technologies Initiative. Its mission is to guide the industry on how short-reach optics can improve processor-to-processor and processor-to-memory bandwidth by clearly defining the requirements and metrics for optical compute I/O. The workstream defines applications and use cases for optical I/O, finds the benchmark for each, and documents the key issues to resolve. It encourages technical innovation by defining the relevant parameters and will produce an OCP requirements document.
