I-Besxar Ihlela Izindiza ze-Falcon 9 Zokuhlola Ukwenziwa Kwama-chip Emkhathini

Okushintshile

Ngokombiko we-TechCrunch, i-Besxar ithi ihlele izindiza ezingaba yishumi nambili zama-booster e-SpaceX Falcon 9 ukuze ihlole ukucutshungulwa kwama-semiconductor emkhathini. Le nkampani esanda kusungulwa, eyasungulwa yilowo owayeyisisebenzi se-OpenAI u-Ashley Pilipiszyn, isiqoqe cishe u-$14 million, okuhlanganisa nomzuliswano wokuqala wokutshalwa kwezimali ka-$9 million oholwa yi-Dauntless Ventures ne-Overture VC.

Iziqukathi zayo ezimbili zokuqala ezincane ze-“fabship” zandiza ohambweni lwe-Starlink lwangoJulayi. I-Besxar ithi zasinda ekwethulweni, zagcina amasampula e-wafer engenakho ukungcola futhi zawachaya esikhaleni esingenamoya; esinye isiqukathi siphinde saba nokungasebenzi kahle kohlelo lwedatha yendiza, okusaphenywa ngakho. Ukuhlola okulandelayo kusuka ekuchayweni endaweni ehlanzekile kuye ekushisiseni ama-wafer nasekufakeni izingqimba zezinto kuwo, kanti umgomo wesikhathi eside oshiwo uwukwakha izimboni ezinkulu emkhunjini wesikhathi esizayo ofana ne-Starship.

Kungani Lokhu Kubalulekile

Okuthakazelisayo akukhona ukuthi inkampani esanda kusungulwa ibeke ama-wafer erokhethini. Okubalulekile wumqondo wokukhiqiza: ukuthatha ingxenye yomzamo obizayo wokulwa nothuli eMhlabeni uyiyise endaweni lapho ukungabi namoya sekuvele kuyisimo semvelo.

Lokhu kungaba semqoka kudala ngaphambi kokuba kube nefekthri ephelele emkhathini. Uma i-Besxar ikwazi ukukhiqiza ngokwethembeka amasampula ahlangabezana nezidingo zokuqinisekiswa, abakhiqizi bama-chip bangase bathole enye indlela yesinyathelo esincane kodwa esibalulekile sokulungisa izinto ezisetshenziswa kuma-chip athuthukile. Lena ingaba enye indlela yokuthola umhlinzeki, hhayi ukufaka esikhundleni sokukhiqizwa kwama-semiconductor. Lowo mehluko yiwo oyindaba yonke.

Umbono wethu (ukuqagela okunolwazi): iminyaka emibili ezayo kungenzeka ibe yisikhathi sentuthuko yobuchwepheshe ehamba ngokucophelela, hhayi impumelelo yezohwebo. Amasampula ahlanzekile ayisiqalo esithembisayo. Ukushisisa, ukufaka izingqimba zezinto nokulawula inqubo ngendlela ephindaphindekayo yizona zinselelo ezinzima eziphakathi.

Indlela imiphumela engasabalala ngayo

Izindiza eziphindaphindwayo ze-Falcon 9 ezibuya nomthwalo zinganikeza i-Besxar umjikelezo osebenzayo: indize nesiqukathi, ibuyise amasampula, iqhathanise imiphumela, bese ishintsha isinyathelo esilandelayo senqubo. Uma ukushisisa nokufaka izingqimba zezinto kugcina inzuzo ebikiwe yokuhlanzeka, abangaba ngabakhiqizi bama-chip bangagcina sebehlola izinto zokuqala zokwenza ama-wafer ezakhiwe emkhathini, kanye nezinye ezenziwa eMhlabeni.

Lolu chungechunge luyaphazamiseka uma ukungasebenzi kahle kohlelo lwedatha kulimaza ukukalwa kwemiphumela, ukucutshungulwa okulandelayo kufaka ukungcola, ukuhlanganiswa komthwalo kukhawulela imvamisa yezindiza, noma amasampula ehluleka ukuhlangabezana nezidingo zokuqinisekiswa. Umkhathi unikeza isikhala esingenamoya; awunikezi ngokuzenzakalela ukulawula inqubo.

Ukuhlolwa komthelela

• Besxar: Kuxubile ezinyangeni eziyisi-6–12 ezizayo. Inomphumela obikiwe wendiza yokuqala kanye nemali yokuxhasa ukuqhubeka, kodwa kufanele ifakazele ukushisisa okulawulwayo nokufakwa kwezingqimba zezinto ngesikhathi ixazulula inkinga yedatha yesiqukathi.
• SpaceX: Kuhle esikhathini esiseduze. Leli lungiselelo liveza izindiza zama-booster ezibuyayo njengendlela engenzeka yokwenza ukuhlola okudinga kokubili ukuchayeka emkhathini nokubuyiswa kwamasampula, uma uhlelo luqhubeka nokusebenza.
• Abangaba ngabakhiqizi bama-chip: Bangase bathinteke ezinyangeni eziyisi-6–12. Amasampula okuhlangabezana nezidingo zokuqinisekiswa angadala enye inketho yezinto zokuqala, kodwa akukho okubikiwe kuze kube manje okufakazela ukuhlinzekwa kwezohwebo okusebenzisekayo.
• Abacubunguli bezinto basemhlabeni: Bangase bathinteke ngokuhamba kwesikhathi. Inqubo ephindaphindekayo esebenzisa isikhala esingenamoya emkhathini ingacindezela isigaba esisodwa sokucutshungulwa, nakuba i-Besxar ingakabonisi umkhiqizo wezohwebo.

Izimo ezingenzeka

Okungenzeka kakhulu: Uma i-Besxar iqhubeka nokuthola izindiza, ixazulula inkinga yedatha futhi idlule esinyathelweni ngasinye sobuchwepheshe, izochitha iminyaka emibili ezayo ithuthuka ngokuhlola ukushisisa nokufaka izingqimba zezinto okulinganiselwe, ngenkathi isalokhu iwuhlelo lwamasampula okuhlangabezana nezidingo zokuqinisekiswa. Lena yindlela engenzeka kakhulu ngoba umphumela wayo wokuqala wawumayelana nokuchayeka ekungcoleni, hhayi umkhiqizo we-semiconductor ophelile. Ukufakwa ngokulandelana kwezingqimba zezinto okuyimpumelelo kanye nenkinga elawulekayo ohlelweni lwedatha kungayisekela; ukwehluleka ukulawula inqubo noma izilinganiso ezingasebenziseki kungayenza ibe buthaka.

Okungcono kakhulu: Uma ukushisisa nokufakwa kwezingqimba zezinto eziningi kugcina ikhwalithi yamasampula ihlanzekile futhi iphinda ifane, futhi abakhiqizi bama-chip bethola ukuthi lawo masampula ayasebenza ekuqinisekisweni, i-Besxar ingasusa umzamo wayo ekuhloleni nje ukuthi imithwalo iyasinda yini iye ekuqinisekisweni okuqondene namakhasimende nasekuklanyweni kwezimboni ezinkulu phakathi kwezinyanga eziyisi-6–12. Ukuhlolwa ngumkhiqizi wama-chip noma imiphumela ephumelelayo yokufaka izinto eziningi kungenza le ndlela ithembeke kakhulu.

Okubi kakhulu: Uma ukungasebenzi kahle kubonakala kunemiphumela ebalulekile, noma uma ukushisisa nokufakwa kwezingqimba zezinto kusula inzuzo yokuqala yokuhlanzeka, i-Besxar ingahlala iwuhlelo lokuhlola izinto kunokuba iqhubekele ekuhlinzekeni ama-wafer. Izodinga ukuqondisa kabusha umsebenzi wayo ezintweni zokusebenza zesiqukathi nasekuqinisekiseni ukuthi inqubo iphindaphinda imiphumela ngaphambi kokuphishekela amafab amakhulu. Umsebenzi wokuqinisekisa obambezelekile noma ukucutshungulwa okulandelayo okungaphumeleli kungakhomba lapha.

Okufanele kubhekwe ngokulandelayo

• Incazelo ye-Besxar yokungasebenzi kahle kohlelo lwedatha yendiza nokuthi iziqukathi ezilandelayo zingakwazi yini ukukala noma ukulawula ukuhlola ngokwethembeka.
• Imiphumela yokushisisa ama-wafer, bese kuba ukufakwa kwento eyodwa nokufakwa kwezinto eziningi.
• Amasampula okuqinisekiswa nanoma yikuphi ukuhlolwa okudaluliwe ngumkhiqizi wama-chip noma ubudlelwano bokuthuthukisa ukuhlinzekwa.
