We are in an era of immense growth in visual processing where intelligent, interactive, and immersive visual experiences are delivered from the cloud anywhere, anytime and on any device. The demand for delivering premium visual experience from the cloud brings new challenges in providing high-resolution, high-quality, high-density, and yet low latency media. Intel® Flex Series GPU is a breakthrough solution designed for delivering premium visual experiences from the edge and Cloud using Intel’s long-standing Intel® Quick Sync Video technology. It provides a flexible, robust and industry’s most open GPU solution for the intelligent visual cloud. It includes broad industry codec support across common formats in broadcasting and creation, pre- and post-processing capability without compromising visual quality. This paper highlights how the Flex Series GPU improves flexibility, scalability and lowers total cost of ownership (TCO) for cloud and edge computing across a wide variety of visual services. It discusses the latest Intel® Quick Sync Video architecture, its broad support for popular media tools, APIs and frameworks, and its future vision. It also showcases several software innovations on Flex Series GPU across large neural network architecture support of generative AI and visual AI models, support for 8K60 real-time transcoding with Intel® Deep Link Hyper Encode technology on FFMPEG, low latency cloud gaming and license free virtualization solution. The paper also covers Intel’s oneAPI which empowers developers to deliver open, portable code across Intel’s CPUs and GPUs to maximize visual services throughput.
This paper will review the device design and performance of Broadcom’s 50Gb/s PAM-4 VCSEL to enable the next generation of transceivers using a PAM-4 advanced modulation scheme at 25-28 GBd. The VCSEL has been optimized to minimize noise and improve dynamic performance for cleaner eyes. Preliminary wear out lifetime studies indicate that the time to 1% failure exceeds 10 years, making the VCSELs suitable for data communication applications.
Avago’s 850nm oxide VCSEL for applications requiring modulation at 25-28G has been designed for -3dB bandwidths in excess of 18GHz over an extended temperature range of 0-85C. The VCSEL has been optimized to minimize DBR mirror thermal resistivity, electrical resistance and optical losses from free carrier absorption. The active region is designed for superior differential gain to enable high optical bandwidths. The small-signal modulation response has been characterized and the large-signal eye diagrams show excellent high-speed performance. Characterization data on other link parameters such as relative intensity noise and spectral width will also be presented.
