UGoogle ubanga ukuba uphuhlile isoftware ye ubukrelekrele bokukwazi ukuyila iichips zekhompyuter ngokukhawuleza kunabantu. Kwinqaku elipapashwe kwiintsuku ezimbalwa ezidlulileyo, uGoogle ubanga ukuba i-chip engathatha abantu iinyanga ukuyila inokucingelwa yi-AI yayo entsha kwisithuba esingaphantsi kweeyure ezintandathu.
Kukubhadla okungeyonyani Sele isetyenziselwe ukuphuhlisa iitshipsi Icandelo lokuSombulula iTensioner (TPU) nguGoogle, ezisetyenziselwa ukwenza imisebenzi enxulumene nobukrelekrele bokusebenza, utshilo uGoogle. Iinjineli zikaGoogle zithe ukuqhubela phambili kunokuba "nefuthe elikhulu" kumzi mveliso weemiconductor.
Ngokusisiseko, imalunga nokufumanisa apho izinto ezinjenge-CPU kunye ne-GPU cores kunye nememori zibekwa ngokuchasene kwi-chip. Indawo ezihlala kuyo kwezi bhodi zincinci kubalulekile kuba ichaphazela ukusetyenziswa kwamandla kunye nesantya sokuqhubekeka kwe-chip; i-wiring kunye nendlela yomqondiso efunekayo ukudibanisa yonke into ibaluleke kakhulu.
Iinjineli zikaGoogle uAzalia Mirhoseini noAnna Goldie, kunye noogxa babo, bachaza kupapasho lwabo inkqubo yokufunda enzulu yokuqinisa ekwaziyo ukwenza "iipateni ezisisiseko" kwisithuba esingaphantsi kweeyure ezintandathu, ngelixa ngamanye amaxesha kuthatha iinyanga.
Ngamanye amagama, UGoogle usebenzisa ubukrelekrele bokuyila iichips ezinokusetyenziselwa ukwenza ubuchwephesha bobuchwephesha bobuchwephesha.
Iinkqubo ezifanayo zinokubetha abantu kwimidlalo entsonkothileyo efana ne-go kunye nechess. Kwezi meko, ii-algorithms ziqeqeshelwe ukuhambisa iziqwenga ezonyusa amathuba akho okuphumelela umdlalo, kodwa kwimeko yeethayile, i-AI iqeqeshelwe ukufumana eyona indibaniselwano yamacandelo ukuze isebenze kangangoko kumdlalo.
Inethiwekhi ye-neural ikwasebenzisa ezinye iindlela ezazifudula ziqwalaselwa ngumzi mveliso we-semiconductor, kodwa zayekwa njengendawo efileyo. Ngokwenqaku, inkqubo yobukrelekrele bokuzenzela ifumene iiplani ezili-10.000 XNUMX ze-chip "zokufunda" ezisebenzayo nezingasebenziyo.
"Indlela yethu sele isetyenziselwe ukuyila isizukulwana esilandelayo sezinto ezikhawulezayo ze-AI zikaGoogle kwaye inamandla okusindisa amawaka eeyure zomzamo womntu kwisizukulwana ngasinye esitsha," iinjineli zibhale. "Ekugqibeleni, sikholelwa ekubeni izixhobo ezomeleleyo ze-AI ziyakuqhuba ukuqhubela phambili kwe-AI, kudala ubudlelwane phakathi kwamacandelo amabini."
Ngokwenqaku, xa uyila i-microprocessor okanye i-accelerator yokulayisha umthwalo, kuhlala kufanelekile ukuba uchaze ukuba iinkqubo zayo zisebenza njani kulwimi olukumgangatho ophezulu, njenge-VHDL, iSystemVerilog, okanye nokuba yiChisel.
Le khowudi iya kuthi ekugqibeleni iguqulele kwinto ebizwa ngokuba yi-netlist, echaza ukuba iseti yee-macroblocks kunye neeseli eziqhelekileyo mazinxibelelaniswe njani ziingcingo ukwenza imisebenzi ye-chip.
Iiseli ezisemgangathweni ziqulathe izinto ezisisiseko ezinje ngeNAND kunye Namasango enengqondoNgelixa ii-macroblocks ziqulathe iseti yeeseli eziqhelekileyo okanye ezinye izinto zekhompyuter ezijolise ekwenzeni umsebenzi okhethekileyo, njengokubonelela ngememori ye-chip okanye isiseko seprosesa. Ke ngoko, ii-macroblocks zikhulu kakhulu kuneeseli eziqhelekileyo.
Emva koko kuya kufuneka ukhethe ukuba ucwangcisa njani olu luhlu lweeseli kunye nee-macroblocks kwi-chip. Ngokwabaqeshwa bakaGoogle, kungathatha iinjineli zabantu iiveki okanye iinyanga ukusebenza nezixhobo ezizodwa zoyilo lwe-chip kunye nokuphindaphinda amaxesha amaninzi ukufumana isicwangciso esenziwe ngokusekwe kwiimfuno zokusetyenziswa kwamandla, ixesha, isantya, njl.
Into ehlala isenzeka kule nkqubo kukuba indawo yee-macroblocks ezinkulu kufuneka zitshintshwe njengoko uyilo lukhula. Kwaye kuya kufuneka uyeke izixhobo ezizenzekelayo, ezisebenzisa ii-algorithms ezingenangqondo, ziyeke ubuninzi beeseli ezincinci, kwaye ucoce kwaye uphinde uphinde ugqibe, utshilo u-doc.
Ukukhawulezisa eli nyathelo loyilo lwe-chip, iingcali zobukrelekrele kuGoogle zenze inkqubo yenethiwekhi ye-neural ebeka ukubekwa kwe-macro-block ngokwayo kwiiyure ezimbalwa ukufezekisa uyilo olufanelekileyo.
Iiseli eziqhelekileyo zibekwa ngokuzenzekelayo kwiindawo ezingenanto ngenye isoftware, ngokwenqaku. Le nkqubo yokufunda ngomatshini Kuya kufuneka ikwazi ukuvelisa umzobo ofanelekileyo ngokukhawuleza nangcono kunendlela yeenjineli zabantu usebenzisa izixhobo ezenzekelayo zendalo kushishino, abasebenzi bakaGoogle bachaze kwinqaku labo.
