講開就順便吹下水, 之前睇到一篇網上的報導關於FPGA chip!
再search返, 可能係這個post:
Microsoft is retooling its datacenters with FPGA chips
Microsoft's use of programmable chips called field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) in its data centers. These programmable chips are faster and less power-hungry, helping Microsoft to stay competitive against its competitors in the cloud.
expects FPGAs to power all Microsoft online services in the future, and as of today the programmable chips are already helping Bing to improve its results thanks to artificial intelligence.
Additionally, one Microsoft employee told Wired that Office 365 will soon use FPGAs to deliver encryption, compression and machine learning to all of its users.
由於Microsoft大量使用FPGA chips(主要係Altera共應)係佢地既DataCenters, Intel見MS咁玩法, 就收購了Altera, 亦會大力發展FPGA chips.
話唔定有一日, FPGA chip會發展到民用, 部PC或Device, 除了update firmware, OS, softwares, apps等等, 仲要update埋粒CPU既線路點走法!
可能MS最叻programming那批人, 現在係寫緊FPGA個線路走法!
However, reprogramming the Silicon is not an easy task. Jim Larus, another Microsoft researcher who worked on early FPGAs prototypes explained: “That is just horrible, much worse than programming software. Much more difficult to write. Much more difficult to get correct.” |
