Scale-Up

Optical Infrastructure for High-Performance Node Scaling

Maximizing intra-node bandwidth and efficiency

Diagram XPU NPO/CPO

Scale-Up refers to increasing performance within a single AI compute Pod, aggregating more accelerators, higher memory bandwidth, and tighter interconnect coupling inside a server or appliance.

In modern AI systems, intra-node bandwidth requirements are growing at an unprecedented rate. Electrical interconnect at these densities faces power overhead, signal integrity constraints, and routing complexity that limit practical scalability.

RANOVUS® Scale-Up Architecture Enablement

Diagram - co-packaged & near packaged optics

RANOVUS® enables scale-up architectures by bringing optical interconnect closer to the ASIC through NPO/CPO (Near-Packaged and Co-Packaged Optics) integration models.

By shortening electrical reach and reducing equalization overhead, our Optical Infrastructure Platform enables:

  • Higher intra-node bandwidth density
  • Lower power-per-bit within constrained thermal envelopes
  • Reduced retimer and signal conditioning requirements
  • Improved scalability of accelerator aggregation

For tightly coupled AI workloads where synchronization, latency, and power efficiency determine system performance, optical proximity restores architectural advantage.
