Abahlinzeki abakhulu bamafu kanye nabathengisi be-hyperscaler benza konke okusemandleni abo ukuze bathole izinzuzo zobuchwepheshe ngaphezu kwezimbangi zabo, futhi ngesonto eledlule iMicrosoft yenze lokho kanye ngokuthenga umenzi wekhebula le-fiber optic i-Lumenisity.
Ukuthola umenzi wekhebula ngokusobala akusizi ngalutho kune-AWS edala ama-Arm CPU ayo noma i-Google's Tensor Processing Unit.
Ukutholwa kwe-Lumenisity kuhlobene nokunciphisa ukubambezeleka, inkinga inkampani ethengiwe ebhekana nayo izintambo ze-fiber optic i-hollow core (HCF) enganciphisa isikhathi esidingekayo sokuhambisa idatha phakathi kwezikhungo zedatha yamafu.
Ihlukaniswe ne-Centre for Optoelectronics Research yase-University of Southampton ngo-2017, izintambo ze-HCF ze-Lumenisity zenzelwe ukuthwala ukukhanya kwe-laser kusetshenziswa umoya esikhundleni sengilazi ye-silica esetshenziswa entweni efana ne-Cornings SMF-28.
Nakuba sicabanga ngejubane lokukhanya njengelizinzile, lingahluka kuye ngokuthi lihamba ngakuphi. Ngokwesithenjwa, ukukhanya kuhamba nge-fiberglass cishe ngamamitha ayizigidi ezingu-200 ngomzuzwana uma kuqhathaniswa namamitha ayizigidi ezingu-300 ngomzuzwana emoyeni. Ngokusho kwe-Lumenisity, lokhu kusho ukuthi ukukhanya kuhamba cishe ngamaphesenti angu-47 ngokushesha nge-fiberglass enekhabhoni ephezulu (HCF) kune-fiberglass ye-silica.
Umhlaziyi we-Dell'Oro uJimmy Yu utshele i-The Register ukuthi kubalulekile ngoba kusiza ekuthuthukiseni ukusebenza kwenethiwekhi. "Ngingakwandisa ukufinyelela kwami ngenani elifanayo lokubambezeleka, noma nginganciphisa isikhathi ngokuphelele," esho.
Ngenxa yalokhu, i-Lumenisity ithi izintambo zayo zingagcina ukubambezeleka okufanayo kumakhilomitha angama-90 njengefayibha yengilazi kumakhilomitha angama-60.
Futhi nakuba izintambo ze-fiber optic zanamuhla zinembile kakhulu, ukungalingani kwengilazi kanye nokwembozwa kwekhebula kungabangela ukulahlekelwa okudinga ama-amplifier noma ama-repeater abizayo, abangela ukubambezeleka ukuze kulungiswe. Uma ubuchwepheshe be-Lumenisity busiza i-Microsoft ukufeza i-HCF yokulahlekelwa okuphansi kakhulu emabangeni amade alindelwe yinkampani enkulu yesofthiwe, u-Yu ukholelwa ukuthi ukonga okuhlobene nokususa noma ukusebenzisa ama-repeater ambalwa kungaba yinto ebalulekile.
Nakuba i-fiber optics Isetshenziselwa yonke into kusukela ekuxhumeni amaseva ngamanye kuya kumaswishi, izindawo kuya ezindaweni kanye nezifunda kuya ezifundeni; ukubambezeleka okubangelwa yizintambo ze-fiber optic kuvame ukwenza umehluko omkhulu kuphela ebangeni elide lendawo.
Ngakho-ke, intshisekelo yeMicrosoft kumakhebula e-HCF cishe igxile ekuxhumekeni kwesikhungo sedatha (i-DCI).
