英特尔公开新的云到边缘技术
该公司表示，其在硅，软件和服务方面的进步展示了如何将技术和生态系统汇集在一起，以释放当今和将来的客户的业务价值。在现实世界中强调的好处之一包括改善业务成果和见解，降低了总拥有成本，加速市场和价值的时间以及全球积极影响。
“We are in the most dynamic global market of our lifetime. The challenges organizations face today are complex and interconnected, and success depends on their ability to quickly adopt and maximize leading-edge technologies and infrastructure,” said Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger at the company’s inaugural英特尔视觉event. “Today, we are excited to share how we are applying our scale, resources and the magic of silicon, software and services to help customers and partners accelerate digital transformations in this complex environment.”
该公司从真正的混合劳动力到完全新的沉浸式经历，这是人工智能，无处不在的计算，无处不在的计算，无处不在的连通性和云到边缘基础设施的技术“超级大国”，这加剧了对半导体的前所需求。同时，企业面临围绕供应链，安全性，可持续性以及适应新工作量复杂性的能力的压力。
The company says it is working to help address these challenges with the introduction of new hardware, software and services from cloud to edge to client. The announcements included:
- A major leap in deep learning processing with Habana Gaudi2:Gaudi processors are used for the highest end deep learning AI training and are known for their ability to enable customers to train more and pay less. Launching today, Habana Gaudi2 and Greco AI accelerators are built on a single software stack, Synapse AI, that easily supports different architectures, enabling end-users to take advantage of the processors’ performance and efficiency. In addition, Gaudi2 delivers two times better AI training performance compared with current in-market A100-based offerings for key vision and NLP workloads.
- 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable sets a new standard for modern performance:Intel is shipping initial SKUs of 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors (code-named Sapphire Rapids) today. These are the first of many SKUs, with more due to ramp throughout the remainder of the year. The 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable processors deliver exceptional overall performance, will support DDR5, PCIe Gen5 and CXL 1.1, and are equipped with new integrated accelerators that deliver up to 30x performance versus the prior generation through software and hardware optimizations for AI workloads. For telco networks it also has new capabilities that deliver up to two times capacity gains for virtual radio access network (vRAN) deployments. In high performance computing, Intel Xeon processors, code-named Sapphire Rapids with high bandwidth memory (HBM), will dramatically boost memory bandwidth available to the processor, super-charging high-performance computing.
- AImade more accessible for enterprises through Project Apollo:In partnership with Accenture, Intel kicked off Project Apollo, a program that will provide enterprises with more than 30 open-source AI solutions kits that are optimally designed to make AI more accessible to customers in on-prem, cloud and edge environments. The first Project Apollo kits will be released in the next few months.
- Preparing for the data center of the future with IPUs:Intel unveiled its IPU roadmap extending through 2026, featuring new FPGA + Intel architecture platforms (code-named Hot Springs Canyon) and the Mount Morgan (MMG) ASIC, as well as next-generation 800GB products. IPUs are dedicated products with hardened acceleration for infrastructure compute needs, allowing businesses to accomplish tasks quicker and solve problems faster.
- Single GPU solution for media transcode, visual graphics and inference in the cloud:英特尔数据中心GPU,代号为北极Sound-M(ATS-M), is the industry’s first discrete GPU with an AV1 hardware encoder. ATS-M is a versatile GPU with leadership transcode quality and performance targeting 150 trillion operations per second (TOPS). Developers will be able to easily design for ATS-M with an open software stack through oneAPI. ATS-M will be available in two form factors and in more than 15 system designs from partners including Dell Technologies, Supermicro,, Inspur, and H3C . It will launch in 2022’s third quarter.
- New 12th Gen Intel Core HX processors for hybrid work:The company completed the 12th Gen family with the launch of the new 12th Gen Intel Core HX processors. Created for professionals who need maximum performance and flexibility to navigate a hybrid environment, and with up to 16 cores and clock speeds up to 5 GHz, the Intel Core i9-12900HX processor is the world’s best mobile workstation platform.
The company also provided a first concept demonstration of its software infrastructure initiative: Project Endgame. Applications can take advantage of this software infrastructure layer that enables devices to harness computing resources from other devices within the network to provide an always-available, low latency, continual compute service. For example, a demanding GPU workload running on one device can sense and tap into additional graphics processing horsepower from a more powerful machine to enhance the user’s experience. Project Endgame is in development, and the company says it will begin beta testing the first milestones of the technology this year.
The announcements also included an early look at steps the company is taking to enable service models across the ecosystem. The introduction of the Intel On Demand service offering helps enterprises meet the needs of evolving workloads, product sustainability and opportunities to scale systems near the data. Currently offered through select partners HPE GreenLake, Lenovo TruScale and PhoenixNAP’s Bare Metal Cloud, the company introduced a new consumption business model to enable customers to align their infrastructure with their business needs and requirements.
The power and positive impact of its broad portfolio, says the company, truly comes to life through examples that show not only how the hardware, software and services work together, but also the deep way that it collaborates with customers, partners and the ecosystem. Examples of such that were highlighted include:
- High performance computing to solve the world’s most complex challenges:Argonne National Laboratories有望在Intel Xeon处理器上运行的Aurora SuperCuptuter，具有高带宽内存（HBM）和Intel Data Data Data Center GPU，代码为ponte vecchio vecchio，Ponte ponte vecchio，ponte vecchio，ponte vecchio vecchio，pontel prode vecchio，Intel oneapi为开发人员提供无缝的系统集成。During today’s opening keynote, Rick Stevens, laboratory director for Computing, Environment and Life Science of Argonne, showed the installation of the Aurora supercomputer for the first time, discussing how it will help solve some of humankind’s most complex problems, such as more accurate climate predictions and discovery of new cancer treatments, while making exascale accessible for more research and development, and innovation.
- Confidence with confidential computing:在越来越动态的监管格局中，全球公司在确定如何使用监管数据来有效培训和开发神经网络时必须解决一些注意事项。Bosch和Intel合作进行了研究工作，以开发机密的AI解决方案，该解决方案使Bosch可以在公共云中秘密培训其神经网络。为了帮助实现这一规模，Bosch Corporate Research已建立了一个由Intel®软件防护电源供电的机密AI平台，该平台可借助3rd genIntel®Xeon®可扩展平台提供。
- 私人无线网络的农业自主权：智能边缘解决方案有可能通过帮助农民提高产量和运营效率来改变粮食种植，同时解决劳动力短缺和人为错误。数据分析还提供了机会，可以提供见解，以帮助农民提高产量并改善作物健康，同时减少所需的资源。Blue White Robotics开发了一种新型的自主农业解决方案，该解决方案将种植者的现有设备转换为连接到基于Internet的管理平台的自动拖拉机机队。在英特尔和联邦无线的帮助下，蓝色白色机器人技术使这一可扩展解决方案利用Intel®SmartEdge和Intel®Xeon®D处理器，并采用边缘计算和共享频谱的力量，在任何地方的任何农场中创建一个私人无线网络。
- Frictionless retail experience:The pandemic has changed the way people want to shop, with many preferring stores with touchless or self-checkout options. Nourish + Bloom Market set out to design a frictionless shopping experience that embraced automation without replacing jobs. To accomplish this, Nourish + Bloom worked with Intel and UST, a leading transformation solutions company, to tap into the collective technical knowledge for building innovations like a next-generation self-checkout using computer vision technology and a fully autonomous store shopping experience.
