Sekuyisikhathi impela, cishe iminyaka emibili noma ngaphezulu, kusukela lapho -Google uthathe isinqumo sokuthi ayikho enye yezinketho ngaleso sikhathi ebingathengwa emakethe ebithakazelisa ngokwanele ukuthi inkampani ikhethwe futhi iqale ukusebenzisana nabo kuyo yonke leyo nto entsha, ngaleso sikhathi, okwakuyi ukuhlakanipha okufakelwayo futhi i ukufunda imishini.
Kwakunjalo ngaleso sikhathi lapho onjiniyela benkampani edumile yaseNyakatho Melika banquma ukubheja ngokoqobo yakha futhi wakhe i-hardware yakho, eyabhapathizwa ngegama le- I-TPU (Iyunithi Yokucubungula I-Tensor). Akungabazeki ukuthi ukunyakaza ngaleso sikhathi okwakhulunywa ngakho kakhulu yiyo yonke imboni kusukela ngokoqobo, njengoba kwakhonjiswa ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, kwanika iGoogle inzuzo enkulu kunabanye ababencintisana nabo kule ndawo ngenxa yezinzuzo ezinikezwa iprosesa enjengale.
Mhlawumbe futhi kuleli qophelo akuqondakali kahle ukuthi i-TPU ibikwazi ukuthini ukwenza iGoogle ibe phambili kunoma yikuphi ukuthuthukiswa okuhlobene nezwe lobuhlakani bokufakelwa nokufunda ngomshini, njengoba imininingwane, ikutshela ukuthi, phakathi amaphrojekthi le processor ayinikeze impilo, ayikho ngaphansi kuka- AlphaGo, leyo software ngaleso sikhathi eyayikwazi ukuwina i-Go player engcono kakhulu emhlabeni, iyathakazelisa Umsizi noma amathuluzi ahlukile asuselwa ekuhlakanipheni okufakelwayo okufana I-TensorFlow.
I-Google ithatha esinye isinyathelo ezweni lobuhlakani bokufakelwa nokufunda ngomshini futhi, ngalokho, ithathe isinqumo sokuthi i-TPU yayo ngeke isasetshenziselwa kuphela amaphrojekthi ezinkampani
Kuleli qophelo, iGoogle inqume ukuthi isikhathi sesifikile sokuhamba igxathu elilodwa futhi ngalokhu benze isinqumo esibalulekile khipha ukusetshenziswa kwe-TPU yakho ukuze isuke isetshenziselwe kuphela amaphrojekthi weGoogle ukuya noma iyiphi inkampani enentshisekelo ingaqala ukuyisebenzisa.
Umqondo wezizwe ngezizwe zaseMelika awunalutho ngaphandle kokunikeza iprosesa elihlaba umxhwele ukuze lisetshenziswe yizinkampani ezahlukahlukene kweminye imikhakha yemakethe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi futhi ngenxa yalokhu kuhamba, iGoogle izoqinisekisa ukuthi ezinye izinkampani ezibandakanyeka kakhulu ezindabeni eziphathelene nokufunda komshini nobuhlakani bokufakelwa abatshali imali yabo ekuthuthukiseni amaprosesa abo bese beqala sebenzisa leyo enikezwa i-Google ngezinsizakalo zayo zamafuNgamanye amagama, iGoogle izokwenza ukwakheka okwakhiwe ngemuva kwe-TPU kutholakale kakhulu.
Manje, njengoba kumenyezelwe, kuyiqiniso ukuthi noma iyiphi inkampani enentshisekelo ingenza njalo inkontileka yekhono lokusebenzisa i-TPU Noma, mhlawumbe nansi ingxenye engemihle, ngoba manje le nsizakalo izotholakala kuphela ukuthi isetshenziswe ngamakhasimende ebhizinisi. Elinye iphuzu elihlabayo, asazi kahle ukuthi kungani lifihliwe, silithola ngokuthi iGoogle ibingafuni ukudalula inani lokusetshenziswa kwe-TPU yayo.
I-Google izoba inkampani yokuqala ukunikela ngezinsizakalo zokufunda ngomshini nezobunhloli bokufakelwa kwezinye izinkampani
Ngokwami, kufanele ngivume ukuthi inhlangano yakwaGoogle ingimangazile, ikakhulukazi uma sibheka ukuthi ezinye izinkampani ezinkulu, ezinjenge-Amazon, iMicrosoft noma i-Apple, azibonisanga zimpawu zokunyakaza okufanayo. Ngale ndlela, iGoogle ikwazile ukuzenzela yona ngokufanele i inkampani yokuqala ukuvula ipulatifomu yayo yezobunhloli emhlabeni ukunikela ngesevisi ekulungele ukusetshenziswa ekulungisweni okuyinkimbinkimbi noma ngemuva kwentuthuko ebizayo.
Ngokuqondene namakhasimende angaba khona aqinisekisile ukuthi anentshisekelo yokusebenzisa lezi zinsizakalo, aqokomisa, ngokwesibonelo, iLyft, esanda kwethula izimoto zayo ezintsha ezizimele. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, kuqinisekisiwe ukuthi isinyathelo esilandelayo abafuna ukusithatha kuGoogle yi- ukusika ngangokunokwenzeka ukuncika kwabo kwabanye abenzi njengoNvidia, ophethe ukuhlinzeka ama-chip asetshenziswa yile platform namuhla.
