Hyperlume wants to make chip-to-chip communication faster and more efficient


Startup Hyperlume uses modified microLEDs to move data between various chips in data centers at very high speeds.

Ottawa, Canada-based Hyperlume created a version of microLEDs that can transfer information faster than the copper-based connections commonly found between the racks in data centers. Energy consumption and latency have always been problems for chip-to-chip communication in data centers, Asad said, but they’ve been exacerbated by the rise — and breakneck pace — of AI. The company has received a lot of inbound interest, especially from hyperscalers, Asad said, in addition to cable manufacturers and firms in other industries that could benefit from the tech.
