Original Abstract Submitted
An optical interposer is utilized in order to send and receive signals from external sources such as an optical fiber. The optical interposer receives the signals, routes the signals to various attached components, and when desired, converts the signals between optical and electrical signals. The various attached components may include memory devices such as a high bandwidth memory, processing components, such as an xPU, combinations of these, or the like.
