Project Suncatcher 是我们的登月计划,探索我们能否有朝一日在太空承载机器学习基础设施 🚀

谷歌介绍其“登月”项目Project Suncatcher,探索未来能否在太空托管机器学习基础设施。文中称,为验证AI硬件能否在轨运行,研究人员已探讨TPU能否承受航天物理应力以及太空辐射与极端温度;上周谷歌发射了首颗搭载四块TPU的测试卫星,称这使其“离得到答案更近一步”。

Project Suncatcher 是我们的登月计划,探索我们能否有朝一日在太空承载机器学习基础设施 🚀

为此,我们需要了解我们的 AI 硬件能否在轨道上运行。我们的 TPU 能否承受航天飞行的物理压力以及太空的辐射和极端温度?这些是 Google 研究人员在过去几年里一直在探索的问题。

上周,我们将首颗搭载四个 TPU 的测试卫星送入轨道——让我们距离获得答案又近了一步。
