中国推出全模拟光电智能计算芯片，算力提升3000倍

On November 4th, Tsinghua University researchers announced a major breakthrough in chip technology. After extensive joint research, they have developed a revolutionary computing framework called ACCEL, which combines optics and electronics. ACCEL is the world's first all-analog photonic-electronic intelligent computing chip. Experimental tests have demonstrated that ACCEL outperforms current high-performance commercial chips by over 3,000 times in intelligent visual object recognition tasks. This achievement opens up new possibilities for the development of ultra-high-performance chips. The research team overcame three international challenges within a single chip: large-scale integration of computing units, efficient nonlinearity, and high-speed optoelectronic interfaces. By combining optical and analog electronic computing, they achieved high computational efficiency and speed. Extensive measurements and verification were conducted to ensure the reliability of the experimental data. The team utilized cross-layer collaborative technologies and evaluated energy efficiency and latency data using equivalent computing power. ACCEL offers three major advantages. Firstly, it provides ultra-high performance, surpassing exsting high-performance chips by a factor of 3,000. Secondly, it boasts ultra-low power consumption, with a system-level energy efficiency improvement of 4 million times compared to current GPU and TPU architectures. Lastly, ACCEL is positioned as one of the most energy-efficient chips globally, with a power usage that can sustain it for over 500 years compared to exsting chips lasting only an hour. This breakthrough represents a new direction for the global chip industry.

11月4日，清华大学的研究人员宣布了芯片技术的重大突破。经过广泛的联合研究，他们开发了一种革命性的计算框架，称为ACCEL，结合了光学和电子技术。

ACCEL是世界上第一个全模拟光电子智能计算芯片。实验测试表明，在智能视觉对象识别任务中，ACCEL的性能比目前的高性能商用芯片高出3000多倍。

这一成就为超高性能芯片的发展开辟了新的可能性。该研究小组在单个芯片内克服了三个国际挑战：大规模集成计算单元，高效非线性和高速光电接口。

通过将光学计算和模拟电子计算相结合，实现了较高的计算效率和速度。进行了大量的测量和验证，以确保实验数据的可靠性。该团队利用跨层协作技术，并使用等效的计算能力评估能源效率和延迟数据。

ACCEL提供三个主要优势：首先，它提供了超高的性能，比现有的高性能芯片高出3000倍。其次，它具有超低功耗，与目前的GPU和TPU架构相比，系统级能效提高了400万倍。

最后，ACCEL被定位为全球最节能的芯片之一，与仅持续一小时的现有芯片相比，其电力使用可以维持500年以上。这一突破代表了全球芯片产业的新方向。

以下是各国网友的评论：

Optoelectronic chips is like comparing copper cables vs. fiber optic cables. Fiber optics are 1000 times faster than copper wires. Light is through a fiber optics cable is 1000 times faster than electrons in a copper wire. This is a major breakthrough for advanced chips for sure.

光电芯片就像拿铜线与光纤电缆对比。光纤比铜线快1000倍，光通过光纤电缆的速度比电子在铜线中的速度快1000倍。这无疑是先进芯片的重大突破。

Wow China has build a new chip Accel which has the computational speed 3000x faster than the conventional chips based on USA’s technology. The all-analog photonic chips technology found by China is not only breaking through the contemporary technology but also makes chips significantly more powerful, energy efficient and cheaper to make. China has surpassed the usa technology by finding new ways of develo chips. The USA’s export restrictions to China is not only a joke but it is also foolish.

哇，中国已经研制了一种新的芯片，计算速度比基于美国技术的传统芯片快3000倍。中国发明的全模拟光子芯片技术不仅突破了当代技术，而且使芯片功能更强大、更节能、制造成本更低。中国通过寻找开发芯片的新方法，已经超越了美国的技术。美国对中国的出口限制不仅是个笑话，而且是愚蠢的。

This is amazing. China is way ahead of the competition. I hope they can get it into all household products and create an ecosystem which allows an end user to manage them remotely.

这太惊人了。中国在竞争中遥遥领先。我希望他们能把这种芯片应用到所有的家用产品中，并创建一个允许终端用户远程管理它们的生态系统。

If this new chip be used in GPUs for graphic cards, they can conquer the market over night.

如果这种新芯片被用于显卡的GPU，它们可以在一夜之间征服市场。

One Chinese old man told me recently : without evidence, there is no truth, just whims of the wishful fools.

Wise man he is.

When will we see evidence?

一位中国老人最近告诉我：没有证据，就没有真相，只是一厢情愿的傻瓜的突发奇想。他是个聪明人。我们什么时候能看到证据?

MightySteve001

If this is all true, then when will the Optoelectronic chip become available for commercial use, and can it be manufactured on a large scale.

如果这一切都是真的，那么光电芯片什么时候可以用于商业用途，它能量产吗?

These are great news, wonderful news. Congratulations.

好消息啊，祝贺。

Patent it and impose the same sanctions on some countries.

申请专利，然后以牙还牙，对一些国家实施同样的芯片制裁。

Can't wait to be able to buy a cheap Chinese CPU and building the cheapest PC possible with blazing speeds.

迫不及待地想买到便宜的中国CPU，造出速度极快的最便宜的个人电脑。

These figures sound too good to be true. But i wouldn't say it's false, but then, I'll wait until it is proven..

这些数字听起来好得令人难以置信。但我不会说它是假的，但是，我会等到它被证明是假的…

well done

干得好！

GPUs/AIs chips yes speed up things,,,But nothing can Beat the CPUs even with GPUs/AIs chips,,,the CPU is the king of computer mho ;)) That's why I urge China to do the most on CPUs!

GPU/AI芯片的确能加快速度，但没有什么能打败CPU，即使有GPU/AI芯片，CPU是计算机之王，这就是为什么我敦促中国在CPU上多花功夫!

mitsunekolucky671

All of this os going to amount to nothing. What happened to the Chinese quantum computers last year that was said to dominate US and Taiwan's supercomputers?

这一切都将毫无意义。去年，传说完败美国和台湾超级计算机的中国大陆的量子计算机后来怎么样了

georgeageorgopoulos

USA Mainframe/Supercomputer are crap!!!! China develop and R&D the kirin & loongson CPUs!,,,must 100% go forward!

美国的大型主机/超级计算机都是垃圾！中国研发的麒麟和龙芯CPU,，百分百遥遥领先!

georgeageorgopoulos

China look i dont know everything computing but so are others,,,if you dont R&D how you will know?! ;),,,Therefore China never forget point no2 is R&D! ;) China CPU and R&D...

中国：你看，在计算机方面，我不是什么都懂，其他人也是，如果你不去研发，怎么能懂？因此，中国永远不会忘记研发！

Sounds legitimate to the naive mind

对于天真的人来说，这听起来合情合理

How do we overcome Chinese propaganda aired with annoying frequency on the Google platform?

我们如何屏蔽谷歌平台上频繁的中国宣传?

jazzanarchy

Google “photoelectric computer,” sheeple, this isn’t new technology. Berkeley made a light-based processor in 2015.

Try the least amount of due diligence before you gobble up propaganda. From anywhere.

没见过世面，“光电计算机”不是什么新技术。伯克利在2015年制造了一款基于光的处理器。在你贸然接受宣传之前，尽量做一些研究，不管从哪个方面。

Americas so busy kee status quo there being left behind

美国人忙着维持现状，被抛在了后面

Guys this tech is hybrid,,,photo and silicon,,,,nothing new?,,,,I always say to China to develop the CPUs Loongson and Kirin only then optonics will make a breakthrough!

伙计们，这项技术是混合的，照片和硅，没什么新鲜的。我一直对中国说，要研发龙芯和麒麟CPU，光电才会有突破

It’s that why imports from holland increased 49% last month to bear the chip embargo that starts in January

Stop making senseless propaganda videos and get on with what really matters

这就是为什么上个月从荷兰的进口增加了49%，以应对1月份开始的芯片禁运

停止制作毫无意义的宣传视频，做真正重要的事情吧
