Why Low Latency is the Lifeblood of AI Data Center Optical Interconnects

Latency is no longer an afterthought in AI data center design. As machine learning workloads scale across thousands of GPUs, even microsecond-level delays ripple through cluster performance, affecting training throughput, inference speed, and overall efficiency. Every layer of the optical interconnect stack—be it transceivers, switching, protocols, or topologies—plays a role in ensuring low latency. This […]
