Abstract

Planet-scale applications are driving the exponential growth of the cloud, and datacenter specialization is the key enabler of this trend, providing order of magnitudes improvements in cost-effectiveness and energy-efficiency. While exascale computing remains a goal for supercomputing, specialized datacenters have emerged and have demonstrated beyond-exascale performance and efficiency in specific domains. This paper generalizes the applications, design methodology, and deployment challenges of the most extreme form of specialized datacenter: ASIC Clouds. It analyzes two game-changing, real-world ASIC Clouds-Bitcoin Cryptocurrency Clouds and Tensor Processing Clouds-discuss their incentives, the empowering technologies and how they benefit from the specialized ASICs. Their business models, architectures and deployment methods are useful for envisioning future potential ASIC Clouds and forecasting how they will transform computing, the economy and society.
行星级计算的极端数据中心专业化:ASIC云
全球规模的应用程序正在推动云的指数级增长,而数据中心专业化是这一趋势的关键推动者,它在成本效益和能源效率方面提供了数量级的改进。虽然百亿亿级计算仍然是超级计算的目标,但专门的数据中心已经出现,并在特定领域展示了超越百亿亿级的性能和效率。本文概括了最极端形式的专用数据中心:ASIC云的应用、设计方法和部署挑战。它分析了两个改变游戏规则的、现实世界的ASIC云——比特币加密货币云和张量处理云——讨论了它们的动机、授权技术以及它们如何从专业ASIC中受益。它们的业务模型、架构和部署方法对于设想未来潜在的ASIC云以及预测它们将如何改变计算、经济和社会非常有用。
