FPGA Discussion: Where is the Massive Bandwidth of 100G Networks Used?

FPGA Discussion: Where is the Massive Bandwidth of 100G Networks Used?

Introduction When we talk about 100G networks, many people’s first reaction is: “Isn’t this bandwidth a bit excessive? Can ordinary server CPUs handle it?” Indeed, the gigabit ports on home computers often do not reach full capacity, let alone 100G. However, the reality is that in data centers, AI training clusters, distributed storage, and telecom … Read more

100G SWDM4 Protocol and WBMMF Wideband Multimode Fiber

There has been a lot of discussion about 100G recently. This year, a new alliance called the SWDM Alliance was established, which utilizes WBMMF fiber, and the WBMMF standard will be released next month. Today, let’s discuss what this is about. The alliance includes many manufacturers, including Commscope (promoting WBMMF), Corning, Panduit, OFS, Prysmian fiber … Read more
