Description
Description | The HiCONNECTS project is a European initiative to develop photonics-based computing and networking systems aimed at reducing electricity consumption in data centres, mobile networks, and other digital infrastructure. It seeks to replace some conventional electronic data processing with light-based systems to cut power use and heat generation, while increasing data speeds. The project also explores localised data processing to reduce latency and energy use by handling more computing closer to users. |
