PCIe® Over Fiber With Samtec FireFly OFC 2017

Kevin Burt, of Samtec’s Optical Group, explains Samtec’s PCIe® Over Fiber demonstration at OFC 2017. The demo features a disaggregated computing platform with PCIe® Gen 3 fabric enabled by the patented FireFly™ mid-board technology. By using PCIe®-over-Fiber, the storage and GPU can be located 100 meters away displaying a clear 4k video stream. This further demonstrates the opportunity for new HPC/Data Center architectures that benefit from the high-performance, low latency that the PCIe® protocol enables.
