Description

[0002] By 2022, global Internet traffic is expected to reach nearly 400 EB per month, and the demand for data center interconnection bandwidth will continue to grow exponentially. It is predicted that by 2030, with the continuous growth of data center energy consumption, the global data center electricity consumption will exceed 3 PWh, and even possibly as high as 8 PWh. In order to meet the demand of Internet traffic, the data center node bandwidth needs to reach 10 Tb / s, and in order to slow down the trend of data center energy consumption growth, it is necessary to reduce the power consumption of the system and the device. The number of I / O pins per package is almost doubled every 6 years, and the total I / O bandwidth is doubled every 3 to 4 years.
