The rise of cloud computing and other emerging web applications has created the need for more powerful warehouse-scale data centres. These data centres (DCs) comprise of hundreds of thousands of servers that communicate with each other via a high performance and low latency interconnect, which facilitate the highly efficient computing, data storage and access. The next generation data centre interconnection requires high-speed, low-cost, low power consumption, and highly integrated transceivers that meets the latency and transmission distance requirements. This project aims to jointly investigate transmitter hardware, software, and novel optical fibre to unlock the next generation DC interconnection technologies. It is supported by ESPRC project and aligned to EPSRC field optical communications.

云计算和其他新兴网络应用的兴起创造了对更强大的仓库规模数据中心的需求。这些数据中心（DC）由数十万台服务器组成，这些服务器通过高性能和低延迟互连相互通信，从而促进了高效的计算，数据存储和访问。下一代数据中心互连需要高速、低成本、低功耗和高度集成的收发器，以满足延迟和传输距离的要求。该项目旨在联合研究发射器硬件，软件和新型光纤，以解锁下一代直流互连技术。它得到了ESPRC项目的支持，并与EPSRC现场光通信保持一致。
