I-IBM imemezele ukuthi ihlela ukwandisa izifiso zayo ze-quantum futhi sabuyekeza umgwaqo ngomgomo wokuvelela nakakhulu, "sebenzisa uhlelo lwe-4000-qubit ngo-2025". Ukwakha isisetshenziswa esithwebula ngempela ukuziphatha kwama-athomu futhi esingasebenzisa lokho kuziphatha ukuze sixazulule ezinye zezinkinga ezinzima zesikhathi sethu kungase kubonakale kungenakwenzeka uma ukhawulela ukucabanga kwakho emhlabeni ojwayelekile wekhompyutha.
Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa zokuthengiswa kophiko lweWatson Health, i-IBM imemezele ukuthi imodeli entsha yama-mainframes ochungechunge lwe-Z izofika "ekupheleni kwengxenye yokuqala" ka-2022, yaphawula ukuthi ukuqala kweqembu kuzoba ngumthombo wokwenyuka kwemali engenayo ibhizinisi lenkampani yengqalasizinda.
Lezi zindaba kube yinkulumompikiswano kule mboni, njengoba i-Big Blue ibonakala sengathi "iyasuka" kulezo "zinhlelo ezinkulu zakudala" ukuze igxile emabhizinisini anemali eningi njenge-hybrid cloud kanye nobuhlakani bokwenziwa (AI). Kodwa-ke, inkampani iqinisekise abatshalizimali ukuthi "amanye" amakhasimende asathanda.
Ngokusho kwe-IBM, imakethe ye-mainframe isekhona futhi ihlinzeka inkampani ngokukhuphuka okwamukelekile kwenzuzo. Ukwenza lokhu, ilungiselela umjikelezo omusha wamakhompyutha we-mainframe ekupheleni kwengxenye yokuqala yonyaka.
Lesi simemezelo senziwe ngoMsombuluko ngesikhathi sengqungquthela yekota yesine yamaholo ka-Big Blue ka-2021. Phakathi nocingo, u-CFO James Kavanaugh uphakamise ukuthi ukukhishwa okusha kuzoba nomthelela omuhle emalini engenayo ye-IBM, eyayingama-dollar ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-16,700 ngekota kanye namaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingu-57,000 kuya ku-$ 35,000 ngonyaka.
Iminyaka engamashumi amane ngemuva kokuqala ukungena kwi-quantum computing, i-IBM isilungele ukukhipha ubuchwepheshe elebhu futhi ibufake kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza ezisebenza njenge-supercomputer! Le nkampani isivele idlule inqwaba yezinyathelo zokuthuthuka kusukela yakhulula umgwaqo wayo wangaphambilini we-quantum ngo-2020, okubandakanya iphrosesa ye-Eagle engu-127-qubit esebenzisa i-quantum circuitry kanye ne-Qiskit runtime API.
Ukuze wenze lokhu, I-IBM ihlela ukuthola kuqala amasethi amaphrosesa amaningi ukuze axhumane ngokuhambisana nangokulandelanayo. Lokhu kufanele kuholele ekuthuthukisweni kwezikimu ezingcono zokunciphisa amaphutha kanye nokuxhumana okungcono phakathi kwamaphrosesa, izici ezimbili ezidingekayo zamakhompyutha we-quantum asebenzayo wakusasa.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, I-IBM ukuklama nokusebenzisa ama-couplers ezinga le-chip, "ezoxhuma ngokuqinile ama-chips amaningi ndawonye ukuze yakhe ngempumelelo iphrosesa eyodwa enkulu," ngokwenkampani, bese yakhe izixhumanisi zokuxhumana ze-quantum ukuze ixhume lawa ma-multiprocessor amakhulu, ngisho nakumaqoqo amakhulu: empeleni ukuhlanganisa amaqembu amakhulu njalo ndawonye. baze bakhe inkundla yekhompuyutha esebenzayo, eyimojula engu-4000-qubit.
Kanjalo, I-IBM ikhiphe isethi yama-primitives elungele ukusetshenziswa ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, "izinhlelo ezakhiwe ngaphambilini ezivumela abathuthukisi ukuthi bafinyelele kalula imiphumela yezibalo ze-quantum ngaphandle kokudinga ukuqonda okuyinkimbinkimbi kwe-hardware," ngokusho komphakathi. I-IBM ihlose ukunweba lolu hlelo lwezinhlelo ngo-2023, ivumele onjiniyela ukuthi bazisebenzise kuma-parallelized quantum processors.
Lokhu kugeleza komsebenzi kuzothatha inkinga ethile, ikuhlukanise kube izinhlelo ezincane ze-quantum nezakudala, kucubungule lezi zinqubo ngokuhambisana noma ngokulandelana, kuye ngokuthi iyiphi esebenza kahle kakhulu, bese zisebenzisa isendlalelo se-orchestration "ukuhlanganisa" konke lokhu kugeleza komsebenzi okuhlukene ndawonye. umphumela ohambisanayo amakhompyutha ajwayelekile azokwazi ukuwuqonda. I-IBM ibiza ingqalasizinda yomhlangano wobunikazi bayo nge-Quantum Serverless, futhi ngokomephu womgwaqo omusha, izosebenzisa lesi sici kusitaki sayo sesoftware ye-quantum eyisisekelo ngo-2023.
Ngo-2025, sikholelwa ukuthi onjiniyela abangamamodeli bazokwazi ukuhlola izinhlelo zokusebenza ze-quantum ekufundeni komshini, ukwenza kahle, ezezimali, isayensi yemvelo, nokuningi. "Sekuyiminyaka eminingi, ama-supercomputer e-CPU-centric abe yizisulu zokucubungula ibhizinisi, i-IBM ingumthuthukisi obalulekile walezi zinhlelo," eqhubeka.
Eminyakeni yamuva nje, sibone ukwanda kwamakhompiyutha amakhulu e-AI-centric, lapho ama-CPU nama-GPU esebenza ndawonye ezinhlelweni ezinkulu ukubhekana nemithwalo esindayo ye-AI.
