Ottawa, Ontario, December 17, 2021

RANVOUS Inc. (“RANOVUS”), a leading supplier of silicon photonics optical interconnect solutions for next generation ML/AI workloads in data centers, today announced the organization is a recipient of the 2021 DesignCon Best Paper Award.  The awards program honors RANOVUS for its outstanding contribution to the diverse educational goals of DesignCon , the nation’s premiere event for chip, board, and systems design engineers. The Best Paper Awards also serve to acknowledge the authors who receive them as leading practitioners in semiconductor and electronic design.

RANOVUS is unique in the industry in that the company has brought together a multi-disciplinary team of industry experts in optoelectronic subsystems, laser, Silicon Photonics, RF, mixed signal ASIC, advanced packaging, volume manufacturing, system design, and technology commercialization to tackle some of the most difficult challenges in optical interconnect and co-packaged optics (CPO) for data centers.

“This Best Paper Award underscores the pressing need for high-capacity optical interconnect in data centers”, said Dr. Christoph Schulien, SVP of R ;D and Systems at Ranovus.  “As data centers increasingly focus on optimizing ML/AI workloads, our Odin™ Analog Optical Engine platform is uniquely positioned to establish new industry benchmarks for lowest power dissipation, size, and cost for monolithically integrated silicon photonic CPO interconnects.”

“We are proud to celebrate this year’s recipients of the Best Paper Awards for their remarkable achievements,” said Naomi Price, conference director, Informa Markets. “It’s important to recognize the individuals and organizations that are fundamental to the advancement of the semiconductor and electronic engineering industries. Each participating author has made a meaningful contribution to an industry that values innovation and technical creativity.”

Recipients of DesignCon’s Paper Award are selected through a two-prong process. The first step is a review of the full-length papers accepted by the members of the DesignCon Technical Program Committee, who then rank and determine the finalists for each award category based on quality, relevance, impact, originality, and lack of commercial content. Winners are then chosen from the finalists based on the quality of their presentations at the conference as rated by the attendees.
