Zimbalwa izinsuku ezedlule wazenza waziwa wamemezela ukusungulwa kwe-UCIe consortium (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express), kabani inhloso ukuthuthukisa imininingwane evulekile futhi bakhe i-ecosystem ngobuchwepheshe be-chiplet.
I-Intel, AMD, ARM, Qualcomm, Samsung, ASE (Advanced Semiconductor Engineering), Google Cloud, Meta/Facebook, Microsoft kanye neTaiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company bajoyine uhlelo lobuchwepheshe be-chiplet.
Ukucaciswa okuvulekile kwe-UCIe 1.0, okulinganisa izindlela zokuxhuma amasekethe ahlanganisiwe esisekelweni esivamile, isitaki sephrothokholi, imodeli yesofthiwe, kanye nenqubo yokuhlola, ilethwa ekunakekeni komphakathi. Kuzindawo zokuxhumanisa ama-chipsets, kumenyezelwe ukusekelwa kwe-PCIe (PCI Express) ne-CXL (Compute Express Link).
ama-chiplets vumela ukudala izifunda ezihlanganisiwe ezihlanganisiwe ezihlanganisiwe (amamojula e-multi-chip) enziwe ngamabhulokhi azimele we-semiconductor angaboshelwe kumkhiqizi nesixhumi esibonakalayo namanye ngesixhumi esibonakalayo se-UCIe esisezingeni eliphezulu.
Ukuthuthukisa isisombululo esikhethekile, isibonelo ukudala iphrosesa nge-accelerator eyakhelwe ngaphakathi yokufunda ngomshini noma ukucubungula ukusebenza kwenethiwekhi, uma usebenzisa i-UCIe, kwanele ukusebenzisa ama-chipsets akhona ngama-processor cores noma ama-accelerator anikezwa abakhiqizi abahlukene.
Uma zingekho izixazululo ezijwayelekile, ungakha i-chiplet yakho ngokusebenza okudingekile, usebenzisa ubuchwepheshe nezixazululo ezikulungele wena.
“I-AMD iyaziqhenya ngokuqhubeka nesiko layo elide lokusekela izindinganiso zemboni eyenza izixazululo ezintsha zihlangabezane nezidingo eziguqukayo zamakhasimende ethu. Sibe umholi kwezobuchwepheshe be-chiplet futhi samukela i-multivendor chipset ecosystem ukuze sikwazi ukuhlanganiswa okuvela eceleni,” kusho uMark Papermaster, iphini likamongameli kanye nesikhulu esiphezulu sezobuchwepheshe, i-AMD. “Izinga le-UCIe lizoba yisici esibalulekile ekukhuthazeni ukuqanjwa kabusha kwesistimu ngokuthembela ezinjini zokubala ezihlukahlukene nama-accelerator azovumela ukuthola izixazululo ezithuthukisiwe ngokusebenza, izindleko kanye nokusebenza kahle kwamandla. »
Ngemuva kwalokho, kwanele ukuhlanganisa ama-chips akhethiwe usebenzisa umklamo kwamabhuloki ngesitayela sabakhi be-LEGO (Ubuchwepheshe obuhlongozwayo buyisikhumbuzo ngandlela-thile sokusetshenziswa kwamabhodi e-PCIe ukwenza isigcwalisi sekhompyutha, kodwa kuphela ezingeni lamasekhethi ahlanganisiwe). Ukushintshisana kwedatha nokusebenzisana phakathi kwama-chipsets yenziwa nge-interface ye-UCIe isivinini esikhulu, kanye ne-paradigm yesistimu-on-package (SoP) isetshenziselwa ukwakhiwa kwamabhulokhi esikhundleni sesistimu-on-chip (SoC, system-on-chip).
Uma kuqhathaniswa nama-SoCs, ubuchwepheshe be-chiplet benza kube nokwenzeka ukudala amabhulokhi we-semiconductor angasebenziseka futhi athathelwe indawo angasetshenziswa kumadivayisi ahlukene, okunciphisa kakhulu izindleko zokuthuthukiswa kwe-chip.
Amasistimu asekelwe ku-Chiplet angahlanganisa izakhiwo ezahlukene nezinqubo zokukhiqiza; Njengoba i-chiplet ngayinye isebenza ngokuhlukana, ihlangana ngokusebenzisa ukuxhumana okujwayelekile, amabhlogo anezakhiwo ezihlukene zesethi yemiyalelo (ama-ISA), njenge-RISC-V, i-ARM, ne-x86, ingahlanganiswa ibe umkhiqizo owodwa. Ukusetshenziswa kwama-chiplets nakho kwenza ukuhlola kube lula: i-chiplet ngayinye ingahlolwa ngokuhlukana esiteji ngaphambi kokuhlanganiswa kusixazululo esenziwe ngomumo.
I-Cheolmin Park, isekela likamongameli wethimba lokuhlela umkhiqizo wenkumbuloweSamsung Electronics, uthe:
“AbakwaSamsung balindele ukuthi ubuchwepheshe be-chiplet buzodingeka ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kwezinhlelo zekhompiyutha njengoba amanodi ekhompiyutha eqhubeka nokuvela, ngokuhlelwa okungaphakathi kwekhabethe ngalinye ngokunokwenzeka ukuxhumana ngolimi olulodwa.
Sithemba ukuthi i-UCIe consortium izothuthukisa i-chiplet ecosystem esebenzayo futhi isungule indinganiso esebenzayo, evulekile, uhlaka lwesixhumi esibonakalayo esibanzi semboni. Njengomhlinzeki ophelele wezisombululo ze-Foundry, logic, nenkumbulo, abakwaSamsung bahlela ukuhola imizamo ye-consortium yokuqhubeka nokuhlonza izindlela ezingcono kakhulu zokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kwesistimu kusetshenziswa ubuchwepheshe be-chiplet."
Okokugcina, uma ungathanda ukwazi okwengeziwe ngayo, ungabheka imininingwane kokulandelayo isixhumanisi
