如何为人工智能芯片打造最先进的大脑?

How to Manufacture the Most Advanced “Brain” for Artificial Intelligence Chips?

  • 摘要: 技术推动与需求拉动决定未来产业的选择,存算一体技术的出现完美印证了这个观点。近年来,大模型这个“高大上”的词汇逐渐走进了千家万户,人们开始依赖于机器高效且全面的思考方式。而人工智能大模型依赖于芯片的大算力,这就对芯片提出了相应要求,即其需要更好地支持并行处理,同时保障数据能够高效率地流动。近年来,国内外均推出了诸多项目和政策来支持该技术的研究,学术界和产业界重新拾起了半世纪前的技术概念,从架构、工艺、集成等多个维度展开了诸多研究,探索后摩尔时代新一代芯片技术。存算一体市场规模不断扩大,似乎已经进入爆发前夕,目前看来,技术落地是存算一体化的关键问题。作者结合自己在学术界与工业界的经历,谈谈存算一体的关键科学问题−工艺集成技术。希望能让大小同行都有所收获,引发大家更深入地讨论。

     

    Abstract: The selection of future industries is determined by technology push and demand pull, and the emergence of computing-in-memory (CIM) technology perfectly exemplifies this proposition. In recent years, the sophisticated concept of “large-scale models” has gradually entered households, with people growing dependent on the efficient and comprehensive thinking capabilities of machines. However, artificial intelligence large-scale models rely heavily on the high computing power of chips, which imposes requirements for chips to better support parallel processing and high-efficiency data flow. In recent years, numerous projects and policies have been launched both domestically and internationally to support the research of this technology. The academic and industrial communities have revisited the technical concept proposed half a century ago; they have conducted extensive research across multiple dimensions, including architecture, process technology, and integration, to explore next-generation chip technologies in the post-Moore era. The market scale of CIM continues to expand, seemingly approaching the eve of an explosive growth phase. Currently, technology implementation remains the core challenge for the integration of computing and memory. Drawing on the authors’ experience in both academia and industry, this article discusses the key scientific issue in CIM: process integration technology. It is hoped that this work will benefit peers at all career stages and inspire more in-depth discussions on the topic.
