Just imagine in just few years from now there will be processors that 1000 times faster than today's chip. What can you do with the speed of these processors. US pentagon has awarded a funds of US$44 million to Sun Microsystem with the partnership Luxtera, Kotura and Stanford University to develop processor with super high speed laser connection.
Sun claims that the technology is very close of being commercialize and has already have near-production level of prototype. If the research is successful, we will be able to see photonic chips that are able to process millions of trillions instructions per second in near future.
