Disaggregated Computing, the Basis of IOWN
Akira Okada, Seiji Kihara, Yoshikatsu Okazaki · NTT technical review · 2021
To achieve IOWN (the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network), we need advanced computer systems that can efficiently process huge amounts of data compared with current capabilities.To meet this demand, NTT is studying an innovative computer architecture, called disaggregated computing, that makes maximum use of photonics-electronics convergence technology.This article describes the overall outline and basic concept of this new computer architecture.
