Yes, I've just begun to deep dive on photonics. The potential for a 10x gain in processing speed and 30% or more improvements on signal speed through the compute medium is potentially a big deal. Another way we might fight data gravity indeed!

I'm keeping my eyes on a lot of the hybrid electro-optical and silicon photonics folks. Parallel paths, fewer hops, fewer changes of physical layers, etc. can make a big difference. #ciochat

No question it's pushing the envelope, but data gravity is also pushing around the IT dept, as it can sharply limit what's possible.

All this data is terrific, but it's an increasingly heavy weight.

The solutions remain limited, unless there's a networking breakthrough.
