Wisdom thing on May 6 message, recently, know on appear a problems " how chip of artificial intelligence of new generation of look upon The Cambrian (doubt is like think of yuan / MLU270) norms?
MLU series is product of set of chip of AI of The Cambrian high in the clouds. Last year May, the Cambrian is released its chip of MLU100 of chip of AI of first high in the clouds, but the have not before this has announced Chinese names, the government never also has mentioned MLU270 this model.
Incident of this second PPT leak not only exposure the Chinese name of chip of new generation high in the clouds " think of yuan 270 " , the partial technology parameter such as function of the technology making Cheng that still showed this chip, peak value, power comsumption, performance data forces Yingwei amounts to Tesla T4 continuously.
Nevertheless MLU 100 chip released the spot last year, another the name is " MLU 200 " also be announced along with all the others, support inference and training according to introducing, and lay particular stress on trains, whether is Shang Buqing Hunan thought of with what release nowadays at present yuan 270 for same money product.
Know the person that quiz calls his the friend that in some Internet big plant works say to had seen in kind, and attach is relevant PPT photograph. Up to arrive wisdom thing check scheme, the browsing quantity of this query already was achieved 18129.
▲ knows The Cambrian of the attach in the problem considers yuan of 270 series photograph of board card objective
Wisdom thing for a short while to The Cambrian a main controller seeks testimony of exposure consider yuan of MLU270 chip message, the other side expresses, this (MLU270 chip is relevant information by exposure) it is accident, relevant picture may be pour out of from partner place, nevertheless The Cambrian had been registered really " think of yuan " this brand, release formally of this chip had not knocked calm. At the appointed time wisdom the thing will have further story.
How to prevent an owner additionally to want the high level of the manufacturer to divulge according to, the Cambrian chip (should show this are new paragraph) apply in what how prevent a domain, will be born, evaluating.
The Cambrian exposure of parameter of part of chip of the 2nd acting high in the clouds
MLU of chip of high in the clouds of continuance The Cambrian (Machine Learning Unit) series, secondly code name of chip of Dai Yunduan AI is " MLU270 " . Be apart from its to be in nowadays of MLU100 of chip of AI of inference of generation high in the clouds roll out firm full 1 year.
It is additionally at the beginning of this year, the Cambrian already registered name of brand of two big Chinese for the chip below the banner, it is respectively " think of yuan " , " Xuan Sai " . Chip of high in the clouds can decide Chinese name basically now is " think of yuan " , perhaps " Xuan Sai " can be to give terminal series product acquire a name.
Yesterday, some is faceless the user fills again went up a piece of more intuitionistic product standards photograph.
Show according to the picture that reveal, name of chip of AI of The Cambrian new generation is MLU270, chinese name is think of yuan 270, 2019 the beginning of the year develops a success, main norms parameter is as follows:
See from exposure parameter, dozen of way that The Cambrian is making Cheng go up is relatively dovish, the generation on continuance chooses a technology of the 16nm that accumulate report, chip uses the AI of new generation high in the clouds of the enterprise such as the Sailingsai that did not resemble the United States, AMD, Wave Computing in that way 7nm craft.
On chip framework, new generation chip from on generation MLUv01 framework upgrades for MLUv02 framework.
Additional, think of yuan 270 in built-in video decipher is unit, should be handle the market for huge video and configure technically.
From the point of performance side, think of yuan 270 be like have the tendency that dresses to NVIDIA Tesla T4. Both contrast is as follows:
According to chart, think of yuan of power comsumption of 270 to be 75W, the power comsumption when just was being released with Tesla T4 keeps balance, the power comsumption that nevertheless the government-owned net of NVIDIA shows Tesla T4 now is already low to 70W.
In side of peak value performance, think of yuan of 270 indication data to be close to Tesla T4 very much.
Have know faceless user says, the actual measurement function of Tesla T4 is behaved and be inferior to anticipating, and excessive price is higher, thinking new competitor is joined is meddlesome.
Additionally the user says, the hearsay inside course of study says, chip of The Cambrian new generation can make training and deduction at the same time.
Still one professes to come from Hai Kang academy employee is faceless express, its dean also prefers this chip product.
Or in low precision training domain achieves decisive breakthrough
As the rapid development of deepness study, if chip can use method of low precision calculative to achieve similar result,worker discovers data science, its have very large dominant position than admiral in speed and specific power consumption, this gets bounds equipment to power of mobile equipment etc quite applicable.
Although low precision computation sounds very good, but this method basically applies at inference at present, and rather than trains.
Because,this is, should use less when undertaking training, a meeting that abandon increase an error, the accuracy that causes training is restricted, normally training needs FP32 to reach at least more the floating-point operation of high accuracy.
Although a lot of researcher use low precision to train in exploration and the algorithm that won't restrict accuracy, existing effect has not give on the market at present and general and applicable relevant application.
The basis is thought of yuan 270 at present the information of exposure, announced function of low precision integer only nevertheless, did not publish floating-point data. The personage inside partial course of study guesses, probably The Cambrian achieved decisive breakthrough in domain of low precision training.
If this guesses,come true, this means The Cambrian to will be AI of existing high in the clouds to train chip to make important contribution.
Lineal learning is sent, cambrian builds core course 3 years
The Cambrian, limited company of science and technology of The Cambrian of the division in full name, it is the enterprise of hatch of place of computation of Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Cambrian combines father Chen Tianshi and Chen Yunji twice is two brother, two people are junior talent, take an examination of class of big boy of the division in entering as a child, 20 graduate with respect to the doctor odd, what in the Chinese Academy of Sciences computation becomes a researcher. At the beginning of doing poineering work 2016, the Cambrian is in not only the funds of 10 million yuan of research that angel annulus won place of computation of Chinese Academy of Sciences, still won the support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in all sorts of project resource.
Regard national group AI as chip " carry handle " , the The Cambrian of Chinese Academy of Sciences of one's previous experience can say is battle achievement illustrious, since holding water in March 2016, all release product of much money chip every year, and the client's name also is quite resonant, IP of its AI chip helps Hua Weihai think of kylin the laurel that 970 chip with one action takes domestic head to deliver chip of mobile phone AI.
Since 2016, the Cambrian has rolled out product of generation terminal processor every year 3 years continuously, after afterwards released MLU 100 of chip of AI of high in the clouds last year, chip of AI of the 2nd acting high in the clouds also will rise to surface in the near future. Carry out on the technology according to The Cambrian " the cooperation that carry the cloud " concept, think of yuan 270 as can perfect as processor of terminal of series of The Cambrian 1A/1H/1M on big probability comfortable match.
Interview in media before this in, the Cambrian carries out trustee Luo Tao to once introduced, the Cambrian established 3 product line:
1, intelligent terminal processor IP accredit, OK and compositive to the mobile phone, how to prevent, car, can apparel in waiting for terminal chip.
2, chip of intelligent cloud server, the MLU100 that released yesterday for instance is thought of with what be about to release yuan 270, quicken card to be inserted on cloud server as PCIE. The support that mentioned on the news briefing last year additionally trains the chip of MLU200 high in the clouds with inference, inaccuracy decides what whether divulge now namely to consider yuan of 270 chip.
3, family expenses intelligence serves robot chip, this product line is released without the product temporarily, in light of the efficient sex with respect to product of The Cambrian research and development, this product line also is worth to expect quite.
Epilogue: High in the clouds trains AI chip war to will rise, who can challenge Ying Weida
Ground of training of high in the clouds is in rise from all directions of the smoke of wolves' dung burnt at border posts in ancient China to signal alarm. Go a few years, yingwei amounts to those who depend on GPU to exceed calculate a series of AI software such as force and CuDNN, TensorRT by force, in deepness study compose of domain of high in the clouds builds a powerful and stable modes of life and relation to their environment, train a respect in high in the clouds especially basically alone big, invincible.
And join circuit as the player of chip of a batch of actual strength such as The Cambrian, high in the clouds trains board piece may not can be stabilized as always changeless. Achieve look forward to to AI chip and character, building powerful ecosystem is the key that develops for a long time, soft hardware development safeguards the investment of research and development that this need lasts, excellent technology, complete set that derives around chip.
The be born of chip of high in the clouds of if The Cambrian applies those who passed time and market to examine, no matter be to be being installed,be in other domain, will become these domains to replace Ying Wei option that imports chip, foreground is very big, this is right urgently chip is homebred good news will be undoubtedly the our country industry that change.
