Patent researchers discovered a patent for a multi-chip graphics processor (GPU) from AMD that can function as one or more devices, US online computer technology publication Tom’s Hardware reported on June 14.
Patent filed on December 8, 2022. “The processing system’s GPU is divided into multiple arrays (called chiplets) that can be configured to work together and interact with an application as a single GPU in the first mode and as multiple GPUs in the second.”says the brief description of the patent application.
This device is noticeably different from other GPUs. In consumer graphics accelerators, the computing logic is usually located on one chiplet and the interfaces and cache memory on others.
Data center graphics accelerators use devices with multiple computing chips, but operate as a single unit.
In this case, three options for operation are possible: as a single computing device with distribution of tasks between nodes, as devices perceived separately by the operating system for each node and in hybrid mode, when a different number of nodes is used. for computing devices.
