Software has not kept up with Moore’s Law, and I did not get any disagreement. But will it in the future? Are you bold enough to predict that software will save Moore’s Law? That is what Peder Ulander (VP of Sun Microsystems) and I discussed with the members of the press in a roundtable.

Every now and then you hear a pessimist predicting demise of Moore’s Law. It is too difficult, if not impossible to continue they say, give several compelling scientific and economic arguments, is the end for real? Hardly…!

The Communications Technology Lab at Intel has a charter that matches its name – we are supposed to look at all the issues around communications for Intel’s future platforms. That’s a pretty broad charter since it means we worry about everything from how security works in Internet protocols, to how to process the packets flying off a fiber in 10Gbps and higher Ethernets into our servers, to future possibilities for integrating photonics and silicon, to how to build radios.

Intel and the University of California Santa Barbara recently won the EE Times ACE award for the Most Promising New Technology category. Silicon Photonics technologies use silicon and laser light to transmit and receive data.
And there has been a lot of excitement around the series of recent announcement from Intel, published in publications such as Nature. People generally get excited about technologies that include the word ‘Laser’ and making anything smaller is generally cool, but why all the buzz around Silicon Photonics?
