It shortens the electrical reach, tightens the integration and relocates the electro-optical boundary. “Replacing electrons with photons” is a compelling way to describe the direction of co-packaged optics. It is also incomplete. CPO does not make electrical transport...

A transport path does not create architectural value merely by improving a link metric. Its value emerges when the improvement expands what the complete system can feasibly do. A Better Path Is Not Yet a Better Architecture A new transport path may offer lower loss....

A physical handoff is successful only when it preserves three things at once: the information being transported, the physical viability of the path, and the architectural value the new regime was intended to create. Conversion alone is not success. Continuity is. The...

Electrical and optical transport are often compared as competing technologies. But the more important decision may be where each belongs within one end-to-end architecture. The Technology Debate Starts Too Late High-speed transport discussions are frequently framed as...

A better-performing link can be important. But if the claim is architectural, the evidence must show that the system can make a different decision. Performance Is Essential—but What Does It Establish? High-speed transport is built on measurement. Bandwidth matters....

The path between memory and compute does more than carry data. It helps define the architecture around it. High-performance computing is often discussed in terms of components. Faster memory. More capable accelerators. More advanced packaging. Higher-bandwidth...
