Siggraph announced today that Joichi “Joi” Ito, director of the MIT Media Lab and a noted pioneer of the World Wide Web, will be the keynote speaker for Siggraph 2015 in Los Angeles, August 9-13. Mirroring the conference theme of “Xroads of Discovery,” Siggraph notes how Ito’s body of work and experience has spanned the science, academic, and business worlds. “Known for his willingness to dig deeply to find understanding and to discover unorthodox solutions and connections, Joi Ito is the perfect fit for Siggraph 2015,” said Marc J. Barr, Siggraph 2015 Conference Chair. “The Siggraph community is full of thoughtful, innovative and curious minds, which Ito embodies through his work as an activist, entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and advocate of emergent democracy, privacy, and Internet freedom.”

Photonic AI Processors Report
(Buyer will receive $500 coupon, good for 90 days, toward any other JPR AIP report)
Jon Peddie Research’s Photonic AI Processors report is a supply-side report; it covers the seven companies building photonic compute processors.
The Photonic AI Processors report defines photonic AI processors and how they are used. It
outlines the two distinct product categories that exist: photonic compute processors, where
light performs the arithmetic, and photonic interconnects, where light moves data between
conventional chips and replaces copper wires.
The report also contains information about the companies in this segment and their
technology and products.
While the companies covered in the main body of this report focus on classical photonic AI acceleration (matrix multiplication, inference, HPC), a distinct set of players is building photonic quantum computers that use single photons as qubits and linear optical elements to implement quantum gates and entanglement.
