Inkampani yama-chip eholwa nguJim Keller, iTenstorrent, ikhiphe iprosesa yayo yesizukulwane esilandelayo yeWormhole yemisebenzi ye-AI, elindele ukuthi inikeze ukusebenza okuhle ngentengo engabizi.Le nkampani okwamanje inikeza amakhadi amabili e-PCIe engeziwe angamukela iprosesa eyodwa noma ezimbili ze-Wormhole, kanye nezindawo zokusebenza ze-TT-LoudBox kanye ne-TT-QuietBox zabathuthukisi besofthiwe. Zonke izimemezelo zanamuhla zihloselwe abathuthukisi, hhayi labo abasebenzisa amabhodi e-Wormhole emisebenzini yezentengiselwano.
“Kuhlala kujabulisa ukuthola imikhiqizo yethu eminingi ezandleni zabathuthukisi. Izinhlelo zokuthuthukisa ezikhiphayo zisebenzisa amakhadi ethu e-Wormhole™ zingasiza abathuthukisi ukukhulisa nokuthuthukisa isofthiwe ye-AI enama-chip amaningi,” kusho uJim Keller, i-CEO ye-Tenstorrent.Ngaphezu kwalokhu kwethulwa, sijabule ukubona intuthuko esiyenzayo ngokukhishwa kwetheyiphu kanye nokunikezwa amandla komkhiqizo wethu wesizukulwane sesibili, iBlackhole.
Iprosesa ngayinye ye-Wormhole iqukethe ama-core angu-72 e-Tensix (amahlanu awo asekela ama-core e-RISC-V kumafomethi edatha ahlukahlukene) kanye ne-108 MB ye-SRAM, enikeza ama-TFLOPS angu-262 e-FP8 ku-1 GHz ngamandla okuklama okushisa angu-160W. Ikhadi le-Wormhole n150 eline-chip eyodwa lifakwe imemori yevidiyo engu-12 GB GDDR6 futhi linomkhawulokudonsa ongu-288 GB/s.
Amaprosesa e-Wormhole ahlinzeka ngokuguquguquka kokuguquguquka ukuze kuhlangatshezwane nezidingo ezahlukahlukene zemithwalo yemisebenzi. Ekusethweni kwe-workstation ejwayelekile enamakhadi amane e-Wormhole n300, amaprosesa angahlanganiswa abe yiyunithi eyodwa evela kusofthiwe njengenethiwekhi ehlanganisiwe, ebanzi ye-Tensix. Lokhu kulungiselelwa kuvumela i-accelerator ukuthi iphathe umthwalo wemisebenzi ofanayo, ihlukaniswe phakathi kwabathuthukisi abane noma isebenzise amamodeli e-AI ahlukene afinyelela kwayisishiyagalombili ngesikhathi esisodwa. Isici esibalulekile salokhu kuguquguquka ukuthi ingasebenza endaweni ngaphandle kwesidingo se-virtualization. Endaweni yesikhungo sedatha, amaprosesa e-Wormhole azosebenzisa i-PCIe ukuze kwandiswe ngaphakathi komshini, noma i-Ethernet ukuze kwandiswe ngaphandle.
Ngokusebenza kahle, ikhadi le-Tenstorrent le-single-chip Wormhole n150 (ama-cores angu-72 e-Tensix, imvamisa engu-1 GHz, i-SRAM engu-108 MB, i-bandwidth engu-12 GB GDDR6, i-bandwidth engu-288 GB/s) lifinyelele ku-262 FP8 TFLOPS ku-160W, kuyilapho ibhodi le-Wormhole n300 eli-dual-chip (ama-cores angu-128 e-Tensix, imvamisa engu-1 GHz, i-SRAM engu-192 MB, i-bandwidth engu-24 GB GDDR6, i-bandwidth engu-576 GB/s) liletha ama-TFLOPS angu-466 e-FP8 ku-300W.
Ukuze sifake ama-TFLOPS angu-300W angu-466 e-FP8 kumongo, sizoqhathanisa nalokho umholi wemakethe ye-AI uNvidia akunikezayo kula mandla okuklama ukushisa. I-A100 ye-Nvidia ayisekeli i-FP8, kodwa isekela i-INT8, ngokusebenza okuphezulu okungu-624 TOPS (1,248 TOPS uma kuncane). Uma kuqhathaniswa, i-H100 ye-Nvidia isekela i-FP8 futhi ifinyelela ukusebenza okuphezulu okungu-1,670 TFLOPS ku-300W (3,341 TFLOPS uma kuncane), okuhluke kakhulu ku-Wormhole n300 ye-Tenstorrent.
Kodwa-ke, kunenkinga eyodwa enkulu. I-Wormhole n150 kaTenstorrent ithengiswa ngo-$999, kanti i-n300 ithengiswa ngo-$1,399. Uma kuqhathaniswa, ikhadi elilodwa lehluzo le-Nvidia H100 lithengiswa ngo-$30,000, kuye ngobuningi. Vele, asazi ukuthi amaprosesa e-Wormhole amane noma ayisishiyagalombili angaletha ukusebenza kwe-H300 eyodwa, kodwa ama-TDP awo angama-600W kanye nama-1200W ngokulandelana.
Ngaphezu kwamakhadi, i-Tenstorrent inikeza izindawo zokusebenza ezakhiwe ngaphambilini zabathuthukisi, kufaka phakathi amakhadi angu-4 n300 ku-Xeon-based TT-LoudBox engabizi kakhulu enokupholisa okusebenzayo, kanye ne-TT-QuietBox ethuthukisiwe enomsebenzi wokupholisa uketshezi olusekelwe ku-EPYC).
