The Photonically Optimized Embedded Microprocessors <ref> https://www.darpa.mil/program/photonically-optimized-embedded-microprocessors </ref> (''' POEM''') is [[DARPA]] program that addressed electrical communications link limitations by developing chip-scale and integrated photonic technology , enables seamless intrachip and offchip photonic communications that provide the required bandwidth with low energy/bit. "The POEM program will exploit wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), allowing much higher bandwidth capacity per link, which is imperative to meeting the communication needs of future microprocessors. Such a capability would propel the microprocessor onto a new performance trajectory and impact the actual runtime performance of DoD-relevant computing tasks for power-starved embedded applications and supercomputing" .For realizing POEM technology CMOS and DRAM-compatible photonic links should operate at high bit-rates with very low power dissipation. POEM should demonstrate photonic technologies that can be integrated within embedded microprocessors and enable seamless, energy-efficient, high-capacity communications within and between the microprocessor and DRAM.

The '''Photonically Optimized Embedded Microprocessors''' ('''POEM''') is [[DARPA]] program. It should demonstrate photonic technologies that can be integrated within embedded microprocessors and enable energy-efficient high-capacity communications between the microprocessor and [[Dynamic random-access memory|DRAM]]. For realizing POEM technology [[CMOS]] and DRAM-compatible photonic links should operate at high bit-rates with very low power dissipation.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Keeler |first1=Gordon |title=Photonically Optimized Embedded Microprocessors (POEM) |url=https://www.darpa.mil/program/photonically-optimized-embedded-microprocessors |publisher=Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, US Department of Defense |accessdate=4 November 2018}} {{PD-notice}}</ref>
