Sele kulithuba elide, malunga neminyaka emibini okanye njalo, ukusukela oko Uphando wagqiba kwelokuba akukho nanye yeenketho ezazinokuthengwa ngelo xesha emarikeni yayinomdla ngokwaneleyo ukuba inkampani ikhethwe kwaye iqalise ukusebenza nabo kuyo yonke into entsha, ngelo xesha, eyayiyiyo. ingqiqo kunye yokufunda umatshini.
Kwakunjalo kanye ngelo xesha ukuba iinjineli zenkampani eyaziwayo yaseMntla Melika zagqiba ngokoqobo ukubheja yila kwaye wenze eyakho ihardware, owabhaptizwa egameni TPU (IYunithi yoLungiselelo lweTensor). Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, intshukumo ngelo xesha yachazwa ngokubanzi kulo lonke ishishini ukusukela ngokwenyani, njengoko kwaboniswa kamva, yanika uGoogle inzuzo enkulu ngaphezu kwabo bonke okhuphisana nabo kule ndawo ngenxa yeenzuzo ezibonelelwa ngumprosesa onje. oku.
Mhlawumbi kwaye okwangoku ayikaqondwa kakuhle ukuba yintoni iTPU ekwaziyo ukuqinisekisa ukuba uGoogle ube yintloko yalo naluphi na uphuhliso olunxulumene nehlabathi lobukrelekrele bokwenziwa kunye nokufunda koomatshini, njengeenkcukacha, kukuxelela ukuba, phakathi iiprojekthi le processor inike ubomi, akukho nto ingaphantsi AlphaGo, loo software ngelo xesha yayikwazi ukubetha oyena mdlali ungcono kakhulu kwi-Planeti, umdla wayo Umncedisi okanye izixhobo ezahlukeneyo ezisekelwe kubukrelekrele bokwenziwa ezifana TensorFlow.
UGoogle uthatha elinye inyathelo kwilizwe lobukrelekrele bokwenziwa kunye nokufunda koomatshini kwaye, ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, uthathe isigqibo sokuba iTPU yakhe ayisayi kuphinda isetyenziswe kwiiprojekthi zenkampani kuphela.
Okwangoku, uGoogle ugqibe ekubeni ixesha lifikile lokuya kwelinye inyathelo kwaye ngoku benze isigqibo esibalulekileyo simahla ukusetyenziswa kweTPU yakho ukuze isuke ekubeni isetyenziswe kuphela kwiiprojekthi zikaGoogle ukuba zibekho Nayiphi na inkampani enomdla inokuqala ukuyisebenzisa.
Umbono wezizwe ngezizwe zaseMelika awukho omnye ngaphandle kokubonelela ngeprosesa yayo enomtsalane ukuze ixhatshazwe ziinkampani ezahlukeneyo kwamanye amacandelo emarike. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kwaye ngenxa yale ntshukumo, uGoogle uya kuqinisekisa ukuba ezinye iinkampani zibandakanyeka kakhulu kwimiba enxulumene nokufunda koomatshini kunye nobukrelekrele bokwenziwa abatyali imali yabo kuphuhliso lweeprosesa zabo kwaye baqale sebenzisa le inikezelwa nguGoogle ngeenkonzo zayo zelifuOko kukuthi, uGoogle uza kwenza uyilo olusemva kwe-TPU lube ngakumbi kwihlabathi liphela.
Ngoku, njengoko sele kubhengezwe, kuyinyani ukuba nayiphi na inkampani enomdla inakho amandla ekhontrakthi ekhompyutheni esekwe kwiTPU Nangona, mhlawumbi nantsi inxalenye engalunganga, okwangoku le nkonzo iya kufumaneka kuphela ukuba isetyenziswe ngabathengi bezoshishino. Enye inqaku elimangalisayo, asazi ngokwenene ukuba kutheni ifihliwe, kukuba uGoogle akazange afune ukutyhila ixabiso lokusetyenziswa kwe-TPU yakhe.
UGoogle uya kuba yinkampani yokuqala ukubonelela ngokufunda koomatshini kunye neenkonzo zobukrelekrele bokwenziwa kwezinye iinkampani
Ngokomntu, kufuneka ndivume ukuba inyathelo likaGoogle lindibambe ngokumangalisayo, ngakumbi ukuba sithatha ingqalelo ukuba ezinye iinkampani ezinkulu, ezifana ne-Amazon, iMicrosoft okanye i-Apple, azizange zibonise iimpawu zentshukumo efanayo. Ngale ndlela, uGoogle ukwazile ukuba, ngokweemfanelo zakhe, i Inkampani yokuqala ukuvula iqonga layo lobuntlola kwihlabathi enikezela ngenkonzo elungele ukusetyenziswa kubume obuntsonkothileyo okanye emva kokwenza uphuhliso oluxabisa kakhulu.
Ngokuphathelele abathengi abanokuthi baqinisekise ukuba banomdla ekusebenziseni ezi nkonzo, sinokugqamisa, umzekelo, iLyft, esandul 'ukuveza iimoto zayo ezintsha ezizimeleyo. Kwelinye icala, kuye kwaqinisekiswa ukuba inyathelo elilandelayo abafuna ukulithatha kuGoogle banqumle kangangoko ukuxhomekeka abanako kwabanye abavelisi njengoNvidia, okwangoku ojongene nokubonelela ngeetshiphusi ezisetyenziswa leli qonga.
