A Breakthrough in Multiprocessor Computing

Data-intensive, high-throughput, and transaction-intensive applications all require fast, seamless flow of multiple data streams. These kinds of applications have been hampered by data congestion created in standard interconnects or switches that cannot switch fast enough.

So Lightfleet eliminated the switch.

With its Direct Broadcast Optical Interconnect (DBOI)TM, Lightfleet is at the forefront of the next breakthrough in multiprocessor computing: speeding data flow by using light to connect processors. The DBOI interconnect is the first to use broadcast light to create a true non-blocking architecture.

Now, multiple processors connected to a DBOI interconnect can broadcast data to all of the others, and data arrives at each processor at the same time, at the same high speed, with the same low latency. No more delays. No more congestion.

As a result, computing with the DBOI interconnect gives you All-to-All™ connectivity that lets you shave milliseconds from transactions, get better answers faster, rapidly respond to changing conditions, and slice through peaks in the daily ebb and flow of data.

A Better Way to Connect

The Lightfleet Direct Broadcast Optical Interconnect (DBOI) creates a switchless-fabric of light that overcomes the performance and scalability limitations of legacy interconnects.  Unlike switches, DBOI’s throughput is only limited by the consumer’s ability to upload and process data and not in the fabric’s ability to transmit and receive data.
