I-IBM ibhengeze ukufunyanwa koyilo lweprosesa yePower

Inkampani ye-IBM kwaziswa ekwenzeni i-Architecture ye-Power instruction seti (ISA) ivuleke. I-IBM yayisele iseke i-OpenPOWER consortium kwi-2013, inikezela ngamathuba elayisensi yepropathi enxulumene ne-MOWER kunye nokufikelela ngokupheleleyo kwiinkcukacha. Kwangaxeshanye, iiroyalty zaqhubeka ziqokelelwa ukuze kufunyanwe ilayisenisi yokuvelisa iitships. Ukusukela ngoku ukuya phambili, ukwenza olwakho uhlengahlengiso lweetshiphusi ezisekwe kuMyalelo weSeti yolwakhiwo luya kufumaneka esidlangalaleni kwaye aludingi mali. Oku kubandakanya ilungelo lokusebenzisa onke amalungelo awodwa abenzi be-IBM anxulumene naMandla ngaphandle kwentlawulo, kwaye ulawulo lweprojekthi ludluliselwa kuluntu, ngoku olukhoyo ngoku.
iya kubandakanyeka kwiinkqubo zokwenziwa kwezigqibo.

Umbutho ojongene nophuhliso, i-OpenPOWER Foundation, iya iguqulelwe phantsi kwephiko le-Linux Foundation, eya kudala iqonga elizimeleyo lophuhliso oluhlangeneyo lolwakhiwo lwaMandla, ngaphandle kokubotshelelwa kumenzi othile. Ukuya kwi-OpenPOWER consortium esele wajoyina iinkampani ezingaphezu kwama-350. Ngaphezulu kwe-3 yezigidi zemigca yekhowudi ye-firmware yenkqubo, ukucaciswa kunye neesekethe eziyimfuneko ekudaleni iichips ezihambelana nePower ziye zabelwana noluntu.

Ukongeza ekwenzeni icandelo lolwakhiwo oluseti ye-Open Hardware, i-IBM ikwafake isandla kuluntu ngobuchwephesha obuthile obusetyenziswa kwiitshiphusi zePower9, kubandakanywa ukuphunyezwa kwesoftware (softcore) ye-POWER ISA, kunye noyilo lwereferensi yokuphuhlisa ujongano- izandiso ezisekelwe I-OpenCAPI (Vula i-Coherent Accelerator Interface) kunye ne-OMI (I-Memory Interface evulekileyo). Ukuphunyezwa kwesoftware enikeziweyo kukuvumela ukuba ulinganise ukusebenza komqhubekekisi wereferensi usebenzisa iXilinx FPGA.

Itekhnoloji ye-OpenCAPI iya kwenza ukuba kube lula ukufezekisa ukusebenza okuphezulu kunye nokulahla iibhotile xa uququzelela ukusebenzisana phakathi kweeprosesa zeprosesa kunye nezixhobo ezidibeneyo, ezifana ne-GPUs, ii-ASIC, ii-accelerators ezahlukeneyo ze-hardware, iitshiphu zenethiwekhi kunye nabalawuli bokugcina. I-OMI iya kukhawulezisa i-throughput yabalawuli beememori kunye nokunciphisa ii-latencies ezibangelwayo. Ngokomzekelo, ngenxa yolu longezelelo olusekwe kuMandla, kuya kwenzeka ukwenza iitshiphusi ezikhethekileyo ezilungiselelwe ukusombulula iingxaki zobukrelekrele bokwenziwa kunye nohlalutyo oluphezulu lwedatha kwimemori.

Xa kuthelekiswa nolwakhiwo lwezakhiwo oluvulekileyo IIMPENDU и RISC-V, I-architecture yaMandla inomdla ngokuyinhloko kuba ilungele ukudala iinkqubo zeseva zanamhlanje, iiplatifomu zoshishino kunye namaqela. Ngokomzekelo, ngokubambisana phakathi kwe-IBM kunye ne-NVIDIA kunye ne-Mellanox, amaqela amabini amakhulu ehlabathi aqaliswa ngokusekelwe kwi-architecture yaMandla, ekhokelayo. ukulinganisa Iikhompyuter eziphezulu ezingama-500.
