Izimfanelo Zomkhiqizo

Isikhulu esiphezulu se-Xilinx sembula isu lakamuva lokumaketha kulandela ukutholwa yi-AMD

I-Xilinx yatholwa yi-AMD ngenani elimangalisayo lamaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-35, izindaba zayo ezamenyezelwa ngo-Okthoba nyakenye, futhi abaninimasheya bazo zombili izinhlangothi baphothula ngokusemthethweni ukunikezelwa kwebhizinisi ngo-Ephreli kulo nyaka.Yonke inqubo yokuthengiselana ibonakala ihambe kahle, yonke into iqhubekela phambili ngokwenqubo, kodwa umthelela obangelwayo awumncane, futhi kungathiwa uye wanyakazisa yonke imboni ye-IT.Ngikholwa ukuthi abantu abaningi, njengombhali, banelukuluku lokwazi ukuhlanganisa ibhizinisi elikhona ngemuva kokuhlanganiswa kwezinkampani ezimbili.

"I-AMD plus Xilinx izoletha umfutho oqinile emakethe yamakhompiyutha esebenza kahle kakhulu, futhi sinephothifoliyo ebanzi kakhulu yemikhiqizo engaphelelisana."UVictor Peng, uMongameli, kanye ne-CEO ye-Xilinx benze inhlolokhono ye-inthanethi kwabezindaba ukuze bachaze ngokuningiliziwe isu lakamuva lenkampani kanye nemephu yomgwaqo yokukhula kwesikhathi esizayo.

Ukuhlanganiswa kwalezi zinkampani ezimbili kuguqule isimo sokuncintisana semakethe ye-HPC, njengoba kungekho nkampani eyodwa eyake yanikeza izinhlobo eziningi kangaka zezicelo zomkhiqizo.Kokubili ama-CPU, ama-GPU, nama-FPGA, kodwa futhi nama-chips e-SoC kanye ne-Versal ACAP (i-software ehlelekayo yesikhulumi sekhompiyutha esihlukile).I-Xilinx, ikakhulukazi, inikezelwe emakethe yesikhungo sedatha eminyakeni eyishumi edlule noma ngaphezulu futhi inokuhlangenwe nakho okucebile emikhakheni yezokuxhumana, yezimoto, kanye ne-aerospace.Ngosizo lwe-AMD, izovumela umthelela oqinile wokusebenzisana emandleni wesevisi yesikhungo sedatha.Ngakho-ke, izinhlangothi zombili ziyazethemba ngokukhula kokusebenza kwemakethe esikhathini esizayo futhi zithemba ukuthi lokhu kufakwa kwezimakethe okubanzi kuzoletha umphumela ongu-1+1>2.

Ngaphezu kwalokho, labo abalandela i-Xilinx bayazi ukuthi uVictor Peng wabeka uhlelo lokumaketha ngesikhathi eqala ukungena ngo-2018, oluhlanganisa isikhungo sedatha-kuqala, ukuthuthukiswa kwemakethe okusheshisiwe okuyisisekelo, nesu lekhompyutha eliqhuba ukuguquguquka nokuqina.Eminyakeni emithathu edlule, u-Xilinx uqhube kanjani?

Ukuyisa ikhompuyutha eguquguqukayo kubasebenzisi abaningi

Ukukhula okuphawulekayo i-Xilinx ekwazile ukukuzuza emkhakheni wesikhungo sedatha kuxhumene kakhulu noguquko lwesu lwenkampani ukusuka kumadivayisi ukuya ezisekelweni.Yilolu shintsho olukhulu oluvumele inkampani ukuthi ikhule ngokushesha isisekelo sayo sabasebenzisi.

Kwezokuxhumana, ngokwesibonelo, emakethe yebhizinisi ewumgogodla wendabuko kanye nengxenye yakamuva engenantambo ye-5G, i-Xilinx ayizange yethule kuphela ama-SoC aguquguqukayo kodwa futhi inikeza amandla omsakazo we-RF ahlanganisiwe anamandla (RFSoC).Ngaso leso sikhathi, emakethe ekhulayo yeyunithi ye-baseband ye-5G O-RAN, i-Xilinx yethule ikhadi lokusheshisa le-telecom elisebenzayo elinemisebenzi eminingi.

Emkhakheni wezokuxhumana okunezintambo ngokuvamile, kanye nobuchwepheshe bokuxhumana bochungechunge obujwayelekile bochungechunge lwe-Series time division multiplexing (TDM) kanye ne-point-to-point (P2P), i-Xilinx inesikhundla sobuholi obuphelele.Emkhakheni we-400G kanye nokuxhumana okuthuthuke kakhulu kwe-optical, i-Xilinx inemikhiqizo esetshenzisiwe.Muva nje, i-Xilinx iphinde yethula idivayisi ye-Versal Premium ACAP ene-7nm ehlanganisiwe engu-112G PAM4 i-transceiver enesivinini esiphezulu.Nge-O-RAN ebolile ku-5G, ebishisa kakhulu eminyakeni emibili edlule, u-Cyrix futhi unesu elihlobene lokuthuthukisa umkhiqizo, esebenzisana nozakwabo uMavenior ukuze akhiphe amaphaneli omsakazo anobuchwepheshe obukhulu be-MIMO.

Ngaphezu kwemakethe yezokuxhumana, i-Xilinx iphinde ibandakanyeke ezindaweni eziningi ezifana nezimoto, izimboni, kanye ne-aerospace, okuhlanganisa ukukala kokuhlola nokulingisa (TME), kanye nomsindo/ividiyo nokusakaza i-AVB, nokuvikela umlilo.I-Xilinx njengamanje ikhula ezimakethe zayo eziyinhloko, igcina amazinga okukhula anezinombolo ezimbili.Ikhule ngo-22% emkhakheni wezimoto, lapho ukuthunyelwa kwamadivayisi ebanga lezimoto agxile ku-ADAS kuqongelele amayunithi angaphezu kwezigidi ezingu-80.Ukukhula emikhakheni yombono wezimboni, wezokwelapha, wocwaningo, kanye ne-aerospace nakho kufinyelele emazingeni okurekhoda.Ngokwesibonelo, ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka i-US Mars rover “Trail” yehlela phezu kwe-Mars, ehlanganisa nobuchwepheshe be-Xilinx.

Ngaphezu kwama-chips, i-Xilinx iphinde ibe phambili ezinhlobonhlobo zezinhlelo namabhodi ama-modular.Lokhu kufaka phakathi ikhadi le-accelerator ye-Alveo, iplathifomu ye-SmartNIC yonke-in-one, kanye nephothifoliyo ye-Kria SOM Adaptive Module, uma sibala ezimbalwa.Kulawa, uhla lwamabhodi, olwalunenzuzo yonyaka yama-US $ 10 wezigidi eminyakeni emithathu edlule, seluvele lukhiqiza imali eyizigidi ezingama-US $ 100 ngo-2021.

Kuphephile ukusho ukuthi namuhla, i-Xilinx akuyona nje inkampani eyingxenye, kodwa inkampani yesikhulumi egxile kakhulu ekusheshiseni i-computing.
