Systolic Array 总体看来,TPU的架构主要就是围绕着由脉冲阵列组成的矩阵乘法单元构建的。搭配如Unified Buffer/Weight FIFO等数据单元,以及卷积之后需要的激活池化等计算单元。我们更进一步,从最早的论文看看什么是Systolic Arrya以及为什么要用Systolic Array。 主要考量和设计原则 作为一个Special-purpose Architecture,脉动...
左下角是TPU v2组成的Pod超级计算机,共有256张TPU,峰值性能为11 PFLOP/s;右侧的TPU v3 Pod有1024张TPU,峰值性能可达100 PFLOP/s(1 PFLOP/s即每秒1015次浮点运算)。 从TPU v3到TPU v4i,矩阵乘法单元的数量再次翻倍,但芯片面积却没有扩大。如前所述,计算逻辑的发展速度是最快的。 如果想了解TPU v4i,可以...

因此,Google决定针对机器学习构建特定领域计算架构(Domain-specific Architecture),希望将深度神经网络推理的总体拥有成本(TCO)降低至原来的十分之一。 于是,Google在2014年开始研发TPU,项目进展神速,仅15个月后TPU就可在Google数据中心部署应用,而且TPU的性能远超预期,它的每瓦性能是是GPU的30倍、CPU的80倍(数据源自...
TPU v1只支持INT8计算,对训练而言动态范围不够大,因此Google在TPU v2引入了一种的新的浮点格式BFloat16,用于机器学习计算。训练的并行化比推理的并行化更难。由于针对的是训练而非推理,所以TPU v2的可编程性也比TPU v1更高。 与TPU v1相比,TPU v2的改进分为5步。第一步,TPU v1有两个存储区域:Accumulator...

The TPU has naturally emerged as a point of comparison, even if doing so is difficult given limited data about performance. But this week, Google hasoutlined the architecture of its TPUand talked for the first time about how they are considering inference with comparisons between GPUs and Haswel...
The TPU is not necessarily a complex piece of hardware and looks far more like a signal processing engine for radar applications than a standard X86-derived architecture. It is also “closer in spirit to a floating point unit coprocessor than a GPU,” despite its multitude of matrix multiplicat...
