Ukwakhiwa kwe-UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) consortium imenyezelwe, okuhloswe ngayo ukuthuthukisa imininingwane evulekile nokudala i-ecosystem yobuchwepheshe be-chiplet. Ama-Chiplets akuvumela ukuthi udale amasekethe ahlanganisiwe ayingxube ehlanganisiwe (amamojula e-multi-chip), akhiwe kusukela kumabhulokhi azimele we-semiconductor angaboshelwe kumkhiqizi oyedwa futhi asebenzisana nomunye kusetshenziswa isixhumi esibonakalayo se-UCIe esisezingeni eliphezulu.
Ukuthuthukisa isisombululo esikhethekile, isibonelo, ukudala iphrosesa nge-accelerator eyakhelwe ngaphakathi yokufunda ngomshini noma ukucubungula imisebenzi yenethiwekhi, uma usebenzisa i-UCIe, kwanele ukusebenzisa ama-chiplets akhona ngama-processor cores noma ama-accelerator anikezwa abakhiqizi abahlukene. Uma zingekho izixazululo ezijwayelekile, ungazakhela eyakho i-chiplet ngokusebenza okudingekile, usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe nezixazululo ezikulungele wena.
Ngemuva kwalokhu, kwanele ukuhlanganisa ama-chiplets akhethiwe usebenzisa ukwakheka kwe-block ngesitayela sesethi ye-LEGO yokwakha (ubuchwepheshe obuhlongozwayo bukhumbuza ngandlela-thile ukusebenzisa amabhodi we-PCIe ukuhlanganisa i-hardware yekhompiyutha, kodwa kuphela ezingeni lamasekethe ahlanganisiwe). Ukushintshaniswa kwedatha nokusebenzisana phakathi kwama-chiplets kwenziwa kusetshenziswa isikhombimsebenzisi se-UCIe esinesivinini esikhulu, futhi i-paradigm yesistimu-on-package (SoP, system-on-package) isetshenziselwa ukuhlelwa kwamabhulokhi esikhundleni sesistimu-on-chip ( I-SoC, isistimu-on-chip).
Uma kuqhathaniswa nama-SoCs, ubuchwepheshe be-chiplet benza kube nokwenzeka ukudala amabhulokhi we-semiconductor angashintshwa futhi asetshenziswe kabusha angasetshenziswa kumadivayisi ahlukene, okunciphisa kakhulu izindleko zokuthuthukiswa kwe-chip. Amasistimu asekelwe ku-Chiplet angahlanganisa izakhiwo ezihlukene kanye nezinqubo zokukhiqiza - njengoba i-chiplet ngayinye isebenza ngokuhlukana, isebenzisana ngokusebenzisa ukuxhumana okujwayelekile, amabhlogo anezakhiwo ezihlukene zesethi yemiyalelo (ama-ISA), njenge-RISC-V, ARM kanye ne-x86, ingahlanganiswa emkhiqizweni owodwa . Ukusetshenziswa kwama-chiplets nakho kwenza ukuhlolwa kube lula - i-chiplet ngayinye ingahlolwa ngayinye ngayinye esiteji ngaphambi kokuhlanganiswa nesisombululo esiphelile.
I-Intel, AMD, ARM, Qualcomm, Samsung, ASE (Advanced Semiconductor Engineering), Google Cloud, Meta/Facebook, Microsoft kanye neTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company bajoyine isinyathelo sokuthuthukisa ubuchwepheshe be-chiplet. Ukucaciswa okuvulekile kwe-UCIe 1.0 kwethulwa emphakathini, izindlela ezijwayelekile zokuxhuma amasekethe ahlanganisiwe ngendlela efanayo, isitaki sephrothokholi, imodeli yokuhlela kanye nenqubo yokuhlola. Izixhumanisi zokuxhuma ama-chiplets zisekela i-PCIe (PCI Express) ne-CXL (Isixhumanisi Se-Compute Express).
