Ngaphansi kwesifufula sedatha, i-FPGA kuzoba amandla amasha okushayela izikhungo zedatha

Ekuqaleni kuka-2018, i-Xilinx yamemezela amasu amasha enkampani: ukubeka phambili idatha, ukusheshisa ukuthuthukiswa kwezimakethe eziyisisekelo, nokushayela i-computer eguquguqukayo. Ngabe asebenza kahle kangakanani la maqhinga amathathu ngemuva konyaka nesigamu? U-Xilinx wanikeza impendulo kwiNgqungquthela Yonjiniyela i-Xilinx (XDF) i-Asia 2019 ebibanjelwe eBeijing ngoDisemba 3.

Imiphumela yesu elisha

Kuwo lo nyaka nohhafu, ukuzamazama komhlaba kwedatha okhukhule umhlaba sekuyisixakaxaka ngokwengeziwe. Ngokwesibikezeli se-IDC, kusukela ngonyaka ka-2018 kuya ku-2025, imininingwane yomhlaba wonke edaliwe, eqoqwe noma ekopisheni izonyuka izikhathi ezinhlanu ngonyaka, futhi kulindeleke ukuthi inyuke isuka ku-32ZB ngonyaka we-2018 iye ku-175ZB ngonyaka ka-2025.

I-tsunami yedatha izothinta ukwakhiwa kwesikhungo sedatha esikhona. "Ukwakhiwa kwendabuko akusanele ezicelo ezintsha," kusho uVictor Peng, umongameli we-Xilinx kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu. "Umkhakha udinga ukwakhiwa kwezakhiwo ngokuphuthumayo, futhi nezimo eziguqukayo, eziguqukayo, nezinama-software ezichazwe yi-software zizoba umfutho onamandla wokuqhubeka nokwenza izinto ezintsha ezikhungweni zedatha."

Ngomkhakha wesikhungo sedatha, i-Xilinx yethule uchungechunge lwamakhadi we-accelerator wekhadi lesivinini somhlaba wonke e-XDF ngonyaka owedlule. Esikhathini esingaphezu konyaka, ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo ezahlukahlukene zabasebenzisi bamandla wekhompyutha, usayizi, imemori ebhendwayo kanye nezindleko, uchungechunge olukhulu lwemikhiqizo emine, i-U50, U200, U250 ne-U280, yethulwe ngempumelelo ukuze ithuthukise kakhulu ifu futhi amaseva esikhungo sedatha yasendaweni. ukusebenza.

Imiphumela ibuyisa imizamo ka-Xilinx. Ngokombiko wezezimali wekota yesibili yemali ka-2020, ibhizinisi lesikhungo semininingwane iXilinx lenyuke ngo-24% unyaka nonyaka futhi ngekota ngo-92%. Ngaso leso sikhathi, i-ecosystem yemvelo ye-Xilinx emkhakheni wesikhungo sedatha nayo ithuthuka ngokushesha okukhulu. Ama-OEM amakhulu njenge-Inspur, Dell, ne-HP asethule amaseva asuselwa kumakhadi we-Xilinx Alveo accelerator amakhadi. Abasabalalisi abahamba phambili kwezimboni uClolfax, u-Ingram ubuye wajoyina i-Alveo ecosystem.

Ngaphandle kwesikhungo sedatha, izimakethe eziphambili zeXilinx nazo zifaka izimoto, ezokuxhumana neminye imikhakha. Emkhakheni wezimoto, iXilinx ithumele amayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingama-170 kule minyaka eyishumi edlule, kuwo amayunithi ayizigidi ezingama-67 asensimini ye-ADAS. Ngo-2018 kuphela, i-Xilinx isivele inemikhiqizo yozakwethu abangama-29 enkundleni yezimoto, futhi amadivayisi ahlobene nawo asetshenziswe kumamodeli ayi-111.

"Sivele sine-ADAS engama-200 kanye nesisekelo sokushayela kwamakhasimende okubandakanya i-tier eyodwa enkulu, abakhiqizi bemishini yasekuqaleni kanye nokuqalisa. UDan Isaacs, I-Xilinx Isu lezimoto kanye ne-Customer Marketing Director, liyagcizelela:" I-Xilinx yi-ADAS futhi iyizikhulu ezizimele ze-chip. umthengisi wokushayela njengoba imikhiqizo yethu inwebekile ukusuka ezinzwa onqenqemeni kuya abalawuli besizinda ngokwakhiwa okuvamile. "

Ngokwakhiwa okusheshayo kwezinsizakalo ze-5G, imboni yezokuxhumana ibhekene nomjikelezo omusha wokuthuthuka okusheshayo. Ngo-Ephreli 2019, i-Xilinx ne-Samsung ngokuhlangana baqedela ukuthunyelwa emhlabeni jikelele kwe-5G NR eSouth Korea. I-Xilinx UltraScale + iplatifomu isebenzisa amandla aphansi ngokweqile, amandla amakhulu enkumbulo, kanye nokuqothuka kokushisa okuphansi, isiza i-Samsung ukuthuthukisa ukusika kwemikhiqizo ye-5G ngesisindo esikhanyayo, usayizi we-compact nokusetshenziswa kwamandla okuphansi. Ngasikhathi sinye, kunamaseli amancane amaningi angenantambo we-5G asuselwa ku-Xilinx Zynq US + RFSoC asethulwa. U-Liam Madden, oyiphini likamongameli we-Xilinx kanye nemenenja jikelele ye-bhizinisi lezintambo nezingenantambo, uthe imikhiqizo ye-Xilinx ingasiza opharetha ukuthi bakwazi ukuvuselela ingqalasizinda yezokuxhumana.

Ngaphandle kwezikhungo zedatha nezimakethe ezingumgogodla, ubuchwepheshe bekhompiyutha bufika ekugcineni. I-Xilinx yethule ngokusemthethweni isithangami sakamuva se-software ye-Vitis enobumbano emakethe yase-Asia (ekhishwe okokuqala e-XDF US ekuqaleni kuka-Okthoba). Le pulatifomu izovumela onjiniyela be-software, ososayensi bokuqamba okwenziwe ngobuciko, kanye nabanye abathuthukisi abanzi ukuthi bahlomule ngokuguquguquka kweXilinx. Izinzuzo zokusheshisa kwehadiwe. Kungokokuqala ukuthi i-Xilinx yethule iplatifomu yokuthuthukisa "ubunye" Futhi kungenye yemikhiqizo ephawuleka yenkampani ngokuguqulwa kwayo okuyisisekelo kusuka kudivayisi kuya ebhizinisini lesikhulumi. I-Vitis ingakwazi ukuzivumelanisa ngokuzenzakalelayo futhi isebenzise ubuciko bokwakhiwa kwe-Xilinx ngokusekelwe kusoftware noma ikhodi ye-algorithm, ikhulule abasebenzisi kusuka kubuchwepheshe be-Hardware eziyinkimbinkimbi. Konjiniyela bezingxenyekazi zekhompiyutha, i-Vitis ingathuthukisa kakhulu ukusebenza kahle ngokubambisana kwamasoftware nabakhi bezingxenyekazi zekhompiyutha esiteji esisodwa samathuluzi.

Okubaluleke kakhulu, uXilinx umemezele ukuthi i-Vitis AI, iplatifomu yokuthuthukiswa kokukhiqizwa kwe-intelligence yokufakelwa, izotholakala mahhala namuhla. I-Vitis AI inikezela ngensimbi ehlanganisiwe yokuthuthuka kwezinhlelo zokusebenza ze-AI zokuphela kwefu, kufaka phakathi ukwenziwa okuphelele, ukucaciswa, ukuhlanganiswa, namathuluzi wokuhlaziya, kanye nokuhlangana okuphezulu kwezinhlelo zokuhlangana okususelwa ku-C ++, Python, futhi kunikeza nengcebo amamodeli we-AI asuselwe ekusebenzeni kanye nemitapo yolwazi yokusheshisa kanye nemiklamo yezibonelo ehambisanayo ithuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kokuthuthukiswa kokutholwa kwe-AI. Ngokwemibiko, ngokwethulwa kwamapulatifomu e-Vitis ne-Vitis AI, i-Xilinx nayo iguqulwe kancane kancane yaba yinkampani yesikhulumi sesoftware.

Idatha iphakathi, ukuhlangana kuyaqhubeka

Le ngqungquthela futhi kungokokuqala ngqa ukuthi uSilil Raje, umengameli oyisikhulu esiphezulu eXilinx kanye nemenenja jikelele ophikweni lwamabhizinisi lwezikhungo zamininingwane, bavele phambi komphakathi kuleli banga.

"Kuhlelo lethu lokuqala lokuthola imininingwane, kunamazinga amathathu okuhlukanisa, elinye liyi-computing, elinye yinethiwekhi, kanti okwesithathu ukugcinwa." USalil Raje ukholelwa ukuthi: "Ngo-2025, insimu yekhompiyutha inkulu kunayo yonke, inethiwekhi nokugcinwa kwayo Izokhula ngokushesha kakhulu. Kepha ngokubona kwemali, igebe phakathi kwale mikhakha emithathu eminyakeni embalwa ezayo lizoba lincane."

"Ngasohlangothini lwenethiwekhi, sizoba nekhadi le-smart network, i-SmartNIC, elizobamba inqubo ngqo yokungena kwedatha kunethiwekhi. Engxenyeni yokugcina, izixazululo zeXilinx zingafinyelela ukuhlanganiswa okuhle kakhulu kwamakhompiyutha nokugcina ngaphandle kokuvumela imininingwane ezogcinwa kuma-SSD nama-CPU ahlehlela emuva naphambili. ”USilil Raje uphinde wachaza isu lomkhiqizo lakwaXilinx.

IVitis, ithuluzi elibukwe kakhulu, kufanele ibuqonde kanjani ubuhlobo bayo nesikhungo sedatha? USalil Raje unikeze incazelo ejulile yalokhu. "Ngokungafani neVivado yangaphambilini, i-Vitis ihloselwe ikakhulukazi isoftware. Manje izikhungo zekhompiyutha zidinga amathuluzi ahlanganisiwe okudlulisa idatha kusuka kudivayisi iye efwini, emaphethelweni nasekuphetheni. I-Vitis iyithuluzi elinjalo lokwakhiwa kabusha nokuhamba kwedatha."

Ukwethulwa kweVitis kubuye kwandise nemikhiqizo yakwaXilinx yezikhungo zedatha, kepha ukuncintisana kule makethe nakho kuyingozi enkulu. UJang angagcina kanjani ithuba lokuncintisana?

Kulokhu, uSilil Raje ukholelwa ukuthi iXilinx inezinzuzo ezintathu:

Owokuqala ukuthi umkhiqizo unekhono lokuzivumelanisa namandla eliqine, elingasetshenziselwa isicelo. Ukugeleza kwedatha, okubandakanya imemori nokunemba, kungenziwa ngezifiso, futhi kwenzelwa imithwalo yemisebenzi ehlukene.

Okwesibili ukuthi i-FPGA empeleni inamandla okuqamba we-bandwidth. Lapho idatha yesikhathi sangempela ingena ngaphakathi, idatha ingacubungulwa ngasikhathi sinye. Akudingeki ulinde kuze kube yilapho idatha idluliselwe ku-SSD noma kwenye idivaysi yokugcina. Ukusebenza kwedatha,

Ekugcineni, umkhiqizo mncane futhi ungagcina idatha kunoma iyiphi indawo, njengokulayisha ku-computing noma kunethiwekhi, noma kunoma iyiphi indawo ye-SSD.

Ngaphezu kwalezi zici, imikhiqizo ye-Xilinx FPGA inezinzuzo zokuzalwa. Kufanele sazi ukuthi ngaphezu kwedatha yokusabalalisa ividiyo evamile, izikhungo zedatha yanamuhla zisenenamba enkulu yemininingwane engakahlelwanga eqhamuka kuma-IoT node, angabonisa ubuhle bama-FPGAs. "Amakhasimende afuna ukukwazi ukusebenza nokucubungula idatha ngasikhathi sinye lapho i-Intanethi yezinto ixhunyiwe esikhungweni sedatha. Futhi ngenxa yamandla okusebenza okufana okuhambelana nokusebenza kwama-FPGA, kungenzeka ukuxhuma i-Intanethi Yezinto nedatha. isikhungo. Ukukhwabanisa idatha efanayo. "Kuphetha uSilil Raje.

USalil Raje ucabanga ukuthi imikhiqizo yeXilinx ilungele kakhulu imakethe yaseChina. "Ngoba ijubane lokuphamba emakethe yaseChina lishesha kakhulu, izinhlelo zokusebenza ezintsha njengokusakazwa bukhoma nemithombo yezokuxhumana ikakhulukazi zidinga amadivayisi aphansi we-latency, futhi lezi zinzuzo zemikhiqizo ye-Xilinx."

Isiphetho sakhe sibuye saqinisekiswa ngokuphelele kulesi siteshi i-XDF Asia. Ukusuka ezinkulumweni ezibalulekile, ukubamba iqhaza kweZokuphepha, i-Alibaba, iBaidu, i-Inspur kanye neZhongtai Security, nokwabelana kwabaholi bezimboni abavela emikhakheni ehlukene e China ezindaweni zamagatsha, kuya emibonweni yokudala yamabhizinisi amaningi asendaweni ase China asuselwa ku-Xilinx ipulatifomu yekhompiyutha Imikhiqizo, izixazululo kanye nokufakwa kwesicelo kwe-Xilinx kungabonakala ekuhlanganiseni okujulile kweXilinx kanye nemakethe yaseChina. Ngokuthuthukiswa kobuchwepheshe be-AI ne-5G, lokhu kuhlanganiswa kuzoqhubeka ukukhula ngesivinini esikhulu.
