X Display Company (XDC) has made a display system that can show one million frames per second. This tech isnt meant for people to watch or for games but for very fast, low-power, no cable communication between machines, using a quick camera.
This system works by sending and getting signals. A speedy microLED display is the sender, and a camera that can catch lots of frames fast is the catcher. The microLED has many light emitters that send out coded light at very fast rates. Each quick image has coded info.
The quick camera picks up these images and reads the info, making real-time no wires talk possible. XDC hasnt said how much data each frame has but thinks more work could let it send data at rates like top network tools.
XDC sees big pluses for very big data places:
- More Power Saved: They say this setup could use way less power than current big data movers, cutting costs on power and cooling. But how much power it needs to work isnt clear yet.
- No Cables Needed: No more fiber or metal wires could mean easier setups and fixes in big data spots.
- Change Bandwidth Fast: The system can change how it sends data fast to fit needs right now, making things simpler.
Still, moving from old wire setups to air or empty space ways would mean big changes in how servers and data places are set up.
Nikhil Jain, a big boss at XDC, said, "The power to send data super-fast through the air could really change cloud setups... Looking forward, with more new ideas, sending data even faster is possible."
XDCs new way to send data could change things. But using it in real big data spots, not just small tests, will need it to prove it works well in real life and that the data world wants to try this new way.
