Kuleli sonto iMicrosoft isanda kumemezela ukuthi, njengamanye amazwe amakhulu amakhulu, inkampani nayo inephrojekthi eqhubekayo lapho ibifuna khona ngokoqobo dala amaseva wangokwezifiso ngawo ukuthola ukusebenza kahle futhi ngaphezu kwawo wonke amandla. Lokhu kungaphansi noma okuncane abakuthembisa kukho Iphrojekthi Catapult Yize kunomehluko ongaphezu kokuthokozisayo kusukela, ngenkathi izinkampani ezidumile esezivele zahamba ngale ndlela njengeGoogle, i-Facebook noma i-Amazon zibheja kuma-chip ajwayelekile, iMicrosoft izohlinzeka ngamaseva abo nge ama-chips we-FPGA ahlelwe.
Ngokuyinhloko lokho iMicrosoft izama ukukwenza dala amaseva akho ngokuwahlomisa ngama-chips we-FPGA ahlelwe okubanikeza impahla yokukwazi ukuzivumelanisa kangcono kakhulu nangendlela enamandla kakhulu ezindaweni nasezimo ezehlukile. Sibonga iMicrosoft, lobu buchwepheshe buthole ukwesekwa okudingekayo ukuze kuqhubeke nokuthuthuka, kungabi yize ukuthi kubukeka kukuhle enkampanini eseke ibhizinisi layo lonke kumasevisi wefu futhi, ukuhlinzeka le nsizakalo, njengoba kukhonjisiwe, into enhle kakhulu ukuthi unamaseva asebenziseka kakhulu, anamandla futhi ngaphezu kwakho konke okusebenzayo.
I-ace ace yeMicrosoft ingaba kumashipsi we-FPGA kumaseva ayo.
Ngokuya ngezitatimende zalabo ababhekele le phrojekthi, ama-chips we-FPGA ekuqaleni abengabonakali njengenye indlela evumelekile, yize, ngemuva kokusebenzisana nabo, iqembu likwazile ukukhombisa ukuthi lobu buchwepheshe ethembisa kakhulu kunalokho okungase kubonakale ekuqaleni, ikakhulukazi ngoba lawa machipisi akhethekile angahle ahlelwe kabusha nganoma yisiphi isikhathi, ngaleyo ndlela ajwayele umthwalo omningi omusha nezidingo ezintsha.
Sinesibonelo esicace bha salokho leli banga lamaseva elinganikela ngakho kulokho banesibopho sokwenza usesho lwe-Bing ngokushesha okukhulu. Ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kokuqala kwalobu buchwepheshe, ama-algorithms wokufunda ngomshini enza i-Bing ngokushesha okuphindwe ka-100 kunokusebenzisa amaseva anezichips ezejwayelekile.
Lokhu kunjengokubonakala kwalobu buchwepheshe, ngokusho kwalabo ababhekele le phrojekthi, yonke iseva entsha ye-Microsoft izofaka i-FPGA, nanamuhla basebenzela ukuhlanganiswa kwalawa maseva anikezelwe entuthukweni yawo ekuhlakanipheni okufakelwayo. Njengemininingwane yokugcina, ngikutshele ukuthi la machips avela I-Altera Futhi ngokunembile, isinqumo esenziwe yi-Intel ngo-2015 ukuthenga i-Altera saphakanyiswa kakhulu ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zeMicrosoft.
