Data Center Operators Reap the Benefits of
High Performance, Energy Efficient Solutions
Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd (NASDAQ: CRDO) an innovator
in providing secure, high-speed connectivity solutions that deliver
improved energy efficiency as data rates and corresponding
bandwidth requirements increase throughout the data infrastructure
market, today announced an upcoming joint demonstration of Linear
Receive Optics (LRO), using the Credo Dove 850 DSP, with the
51.2Tb/s Wistron DS-6183-64O 64-port 800GbE switch. The joint
demonstration at OFC 2024 in San Diego provides a preview for a new
generation of power and cost optimized data center infrastructure
designed to handle the ever increasing workloads demanded in AI
networks with a lower carbon footprint.

In an LRO transceiver, or Active Optical Cable (AOC), only the
transmit path from the electrical input to the optical line side
output includes a DSP for signal retiming and equalization. This
unlocks dramatic power savings without sacrificing interoperability
or standards compliance. All three 800G OSFP LRO modules provided
by Credo partners for this demonstration seamlessly “plug and play”
with the 51.2T Wistron switch, a tremendous benefit in mass
deployment.
Credo invites OFC conference attendees to visit the public
display during expo hours in booth 3601 in the San Diego convention
center from March 26-28th.
“Linear Receive Optics are pushing the industry forward. Credo
is streamlining implementation for module vendors while addressing
the need for improved energy efficiency across the data center,”
said Anderson Chiu, General Manager of Networking Development,
Enterprise and Networking Business Group of Wistron. “The
combination of Credo LRO DSPs and our world class switch technology
allows our mutual customers to upgrade AI/ML clusters to higher
bandwidth connectivity, with less latency, all while saving cost
and reducing power and cooling requirements.”
“We are honored to work with Wistron on the first public
demonstration of LRO technology in their latest 51.2T switch
platform ,” said Chris Collins, Vice President of Optical Marketing
at Credo. “Wistron is recognized as a leader in advanced networking
and their commitment to supporting LRO allows their customers to
enjoy a lower total cost of ownership without sacrificing network
performance or throughput.”
About the Credo Dove 850
The Dove 850 is a unidirectional 8 x 112 Gb/s DSP purpose built
for the LRO architecture. The Dove 850 DSP aims to address the
inherent weakness of a Linear Pluggable Optics (LPO) implementation
by facilitating IEEE compliant optical transmit signaling and
easing the deployment burden on system operators by eliminating
manual, per port tuning. The result is lower bit error rates,
enhanced sensitivity, reduced performance variation, and improved
resilience to different switch ASICs, PCB traces, optical
components, and environmental conditions. Dove 850 allows
transceiver vendors to optimize module cost by employing a variety
of optics, including VCSELs, silicon photonics, EML or thin-film
lithium niobate as dictated by the application requirements.
About the Wistron DS-6183-64O
The DS-6183-64O is a high-performance and high-density switch
specially designed for AI/ML applications. It perfectly matches the
connectivity requirements for next-generation data centers,
including hyperscale core, aggregation layer, and spine-leaf
architecture. DS-6183-64O is a compact 2RU 64 port 800G OSFP
Ethernet Switch, built with Broadcom Tomahawk 5 chip, providing
high bandwidth, high throughput, and reliable solutions. Support up
to 102.4Tbps of switching I/O bandwidth and non-blocking switching
fabric, delivering wire-speed L2 and L3 packet forwarding
capabilities on all ports for Low-latency data transmission and
support for state-of-the-art instrumentation feature. With the
advanced system integration technique, all OSFP ports on
DS-6183-64O support up to 800GbE and can be configured as 2 x
400GbE and also support 18W output. For long-range DCI application,
8 OSFP ports of DS-6183-64O could even support 25W in each port.
DS-6183-64O is loaded with ONIE (Open Network Install Environment),
which supports the installation of compatible NOS (Network
Operating System) software, like SONiC.
