Sun splits DARPA photon-linkage cake with Kotura
Kotura Inc announced today it has been awarded a $14m contract by Sun Microsystems, to assist with photonic linking of processor cores in future supercomputers and power-limited multicore systems. Sun is carrying out the optical core-hookup work for the US military. The idea of linking processors optically rather than …

This sounds like another deal made with a senator on a golf course instead of by tech heads who have a clue.
