Can AI computing power become CPU computing power
The development of single CPU can not meet the needs of practical applications, and the AI era must rely on parallel computing. At present, the mainstream architecture of parallel computing is heterogeneous parallel computing platform. If you need the service of computing power, you can go to the tenth power

in terms of the hardware architecture of the server, AI server is a heterogeneous server. In terms of heterogeneous mode, different combinations can be adopted according to the application scope, such as CPU + GPU, CPU + TPU, CPU + other accelerators, etc. Compared with ordinary servers, there is no difference in memory, storage and network, mainly in big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other aspects, which need more internal and external memory to meet the needs of various data collection and collation
as we all know, the common server is the provider of computing power based on CPU, which adopts the serial architecture and is good at logical computing and floating-point computing. Because a lot of branch jump processing is needed in logic judgment, the structure of CPU is complex, and the improvement of computing power mainly depends on stacking more cores
however, with the application of network technologies such as big data, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and the Internet of things, the amount of data in the Internet is growing exponentially, which poses a serious challenge to the traditional services with CPU as the main source of computing power. At present, the processing technology of CPU and the number of cores of a single CPU are close to the limit, but the increase of data continues, Therefore, the data processing ability of the server must be improved. Therefore, in this environment, AI server came into being.
in the multi-core era, the higher the frequency of a single core, the better the number of cores
at the same time, we have to consider the CPU manufacturing process, supported instruction set, architecture and so on, so the evaluation of a CPU is not based on the frequency, nor only on the number of cores
the GHz of CPU refers to the dominant frequency of CPU:
the dominant frequency of CPU, that is, the clock speed of CPU core
the megahertz of so and so CPU is usually said, and this megahertz is "the main frequency of CPU"
many people think that the main frequency of CPU is its running speed, but it is not
the dominant frequency of CPU indicates the speed of digital pulse signal oscillation in CPU, which is not directly related to the actual computing power of CPU
since the dominant frequency does not directly represent the operation speed, it is likely that the actual operation speed of CPU with higher dominant frequency will be lower under certain circumstances
on the afternoon of August 23, 2019, Huawei's Shenzhen headquarters released shengteng 910, the most powerful a processor, and launched a full scene AI computing framework
Xu Zhijun, chairman of wheel of Huawei, said, Huawei has completed the construction of AI solutions for the whole station and scene, and will launch more AI processors in the future to provide more abundant, more economical and more suitable AI computing power
but it gave him a good excuse. He kept shouting that the wolf was coming, the wolf was coming< but I haven't seen his reaction these two days. It is estimated that he is the most shocked strong>
Master Lu classic version 5.20
the single running score of graphics card is about 18W
gtx970 is about 13-13.5w
1660s is about 40% faster than the theoretical running score
1660s has the characteristics of low theoretical running score, for example, the theoretical running score is lower than rx590, the actual game is higher than rx590
1660s is about 50-55% faster than gtx970 in the actual game
