Kule veki, i-NVIDIA ibhengeze i-6,9 yeebhiliyoni zeedola zokufumana i-Mellanox, umenzi omkhulu wezixhobo zonxibelelwano kumaziko edatha kunye neenkqubo eziphezulu ze-computing (HPC). Kwaye ukufunyanwa okunjalo okungaqhelekanga komphuhlisi we-GPU, apho i-NVIDIA ide yagqiba kwelokuba ikhuphe i-Intel, ayizenzekeli kwaphela. Njengoko i-CEO ye-NVIDIA u-Jen-Hsun Huang waphawula malunga nesivumelwano, ukuthengwa kwe-Mellanox yayilutyalo-mali olubaluleke kakhulu kwinkampani, kuba sithetha ngotshintsho lwehlabathi kwisicwangciso.
Akusiyo imfihlo ukuba i-NVIDIA kudala izama ukunyusa ingeniso yayo, eyifumana kwiintengiso zezixhobo zee-supercomputers kunye namaziko edatha. Usetyenziso lwe-GPU ngaphandle kweePC zemidlalo zikhula yonke imihla, kwaye ipropathi yobukrelekrele kaMellanox kufuneka incede i-NVIDIA iphuhlise izisombululo zayo ezinkulu zedatha. Inyani yokuba i-NVIDIA yayizimisele ukuchitha isixa esikhulu ekufumaneni inkampani yonxibelelwano yimbonakaliso entle yengqwalasela ehlawulwe kule ndawo. Kwaye ngaphezu koko, abadlali akufuneki baphinde babenayo nayiphi na inkohliso: ukwanelisa umdla wabo we-NVIDIA iyayeka ukuba yeyona njongo iphambili.
UJensen Huang wathetha ngale nto ngokuthe ngqo kudliwano-ndlebe ne-HPC Wire, eyenzeka emva kokubhengezwa kokuthengwa kweMellanox. βAmaziko eenkcukacha zezona khompyutha zibalulekileyo namhlanje nakwixesha elizayo. Umthwalo womsebenzi uyaqhubeka nokuguquka ngobukrelekrele bokwenziwa, ukufundwa komatshini kunye nohlalutyo olukhulu lwedatha, ngoko ke amaziko edatha yexesha elizayo aya kwakhiwa njengeekhompyuter ezinkulu, ezinamandla. Sasiyinkampani yeGPU, emva koko saba ngumenzi weqonga leGPU. Ngoku sibe yinkampani yekhompyuter eqale ngeechips kwaye iyanda kwiziko ledatha. β
Masikhumbule ukuba i-Mellanox yinkampani yakwa-Israel enobuchwepheshe obuphambili bokudibanisa i-nodes kumaziko edatha kunye neenkqubo eziphezulu zokusebenza. Ngokukodwa, izisombululo zenethiwekhi ye-Mellanox ngoku zisetyenziswa kwi-DGX-2, inkqubo ye-supercomputer esekelwe kwi-Volta GPUs enikezelwa yi-NVIDIA yokusombulula iingxaki kwinkalo yokufunda nzulu kunye nohlalutyo lwedatha.
"Sikholelwa ukuba kumaziko edatha exesha elizayo, i-computing ayiyi kuqala kwaye iphele kwiiseva. IKhompyutha iya kunabela kuthungelwano. Ngexesha elide, ndicinga ukuba sinethuba lokudala i-architecture ye-computing kwisikali samaziko edatha, "icacisa i-CEO ye-NVIDIA yokufunyanwa kwe-Mellanox. Ewe, i-NVIDIA ngoku inobuchwephesha obuyimfuneko bokwakha izisombululo ezikumgangatho ophezulu wokusebenza ezibandakanya zombini ii-GPU array kunye ne-front-end interconnects.
Okwangoku, i-NVIDIA iyaqhubeka nokugcina ukuxhomekeka okuqinileyo kwimakethi yemidlalo yegraphic. Ngaphandle kwayo yonke imizamo eyenziwe, abadlali basazisa isambuku sengeniso yenkampani. Ngaloo ndlela, kwikota yesine yonyaka odlulileyo, i-NVIDIA izuze i-$ 954 yezigidi ekuthengisweni kwezixhobo zokudlala, ngelixa inkampani ifumana ngaphantsi kwezisombululo zamaziko edatha - i-$ 679 yezigidi ze-computing yanda nge-12%, ngelixa ukuthengiswa kwemiqulu ye imidlalo yevidiyo amakhadi ehle nge 45%. Kwaye oku kushiya ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo ukuba kwixesha elizayo i-NVIDIA iya kuthembela ngokuyintloko kumaziko edatha kunye nekhompyuter ephezulu yokusebenza.
