Eyasungulwa eminyakeni eyisishiyagalombili edlule, inkampani yaseBrithani iGraphcore isivele izenzele igama ngokukhululwa kwama-accelerator anamandla e-AI, atholwe ngemfudumalo yiMicrosoft noDell. Ama-accelerator athuthukiswe yi-Graphcore ekuqaleni ahloselwe i-AI, okungeke kushiwo ngama-NVIDIA GPU aguqulelwe ukuxazulula izinkinga ze-AI. A I-Graphcore idlule ngisho nenkosi esanda kwethulwa yama-chips e-AI, iphrosesa ye-NVIDIA A100, ngokwenani lama-transistors ahilelekile.
Isixazululo se-NVIDIA A100 esisekelwe ekwakhiweni kwe-Ampere siqukethe ama-transistors ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-54. Iphrosesa entsha ye-7nm Graphcore Colossus MK2 (IPU GC200) inama-transistors ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-59,4 ku-chip yayo. Ngakho-ke, umqhele we-chip eyinkimbinkimbi kakhulu emhlabeni (ngaphandle kwe-monster yepuleti elilodwa ) wadlulela kumaNgisi.
I-chip ngayinye ye-GC200 ithwala ama-processor cores azimele angu-1472 ngendlela yesethi "yamathayela" futhi iyakwazi ukusebenzisa imicu yekhompyutha engu-8832 ngokuhambisana. Isixazululo sangaphambilini senkampani kwakuyi-accelerator enama-cores angu-1216 nemicu engu-7296. "Ithayela" ngalinye linendawo yalo yenkumbulo. Ukuthuthukiswa okusha kunengqikithi engu-900 MB yenkumbulo yangaphakathi, kuyilapho iphrosesa yangaphambili yayinememori engu-300 MB kuphela.
Isixazululo esinjalo sihlinzeka ngenani elikhulu lokuphuma kwe-Graphcore accelerators. Ngakho-ke, ikhompyutha yeshalofu eyodwa yerack evamile enezisheshisi ezine ze-Colossus MK2 inokusebenza kwe-petaflops eyodwa. Ukusebenza ndawonye ama-IPU ayizinkulungwane ezingama-64 kuzohlinzeka ngokusebenza kwama-exaflops ayi-16. Ukukala kweplatifomu yeGraphcore kwenziwa ngokumane ukwandise amabhlokhi ngokucushwa okuzenzakalelayo, okwandisa kakhulu umbuthano wabasebenzisi bama-accelerator enkampani.
Ngaphambili iMicrosoft Sebenzisa inkundla ye-Graphcore ku-Azure Cloud Services ukuze ubone imibuzo ngezilimi zemvelo. Izixazululo ze-Graphcore kuthiwa zishesha izikhathi ezingu-2 kunezingxenyekazi ze-AI ezisekelwe ku-GPU. Hhayi-ke, okungenani i-Graphcore ibonakala iphumelela emkhakheni wayo. Imali yayo yemakethe isondele ku-$XNUMX billion, futhi ubuchwepheshe benkampani abukasukumi ngempela.
