Google将发射搭载AI处理器的卫星测试太空性能
Google is sending an AI satellite into space next week
Google is getting ready to launch a satellite with its AI processors to test how well they perform in space, as reported earlier by The New York Times. The move is part of Google's Project Suncatcher, the company's experimental initiative that could eventually put AI data centers into orbit.
据《纽约时报》此前报道，谷歌正准备发射一颗搭载其AI处理器的卫星，以测试这些处理器在太空中的性能。此举是谷歌“捕日计划”（Project Suncatcher）的一部分，这是该公司的一项实验性举措，最终可能将AI数据中心送入轨道。
The satellite, equipped with Google's Tensor Processing Units, will launch aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on October 1st, allowing it to harness the power of the sun in low Earth orbit. As noted by Google, the goal of the mission is to measure how well its TPUs "handle the physical stress of spaceflight and the radiation and thermal extremes of space." …
这颗配备谷歌张量处理单元（TPU）的卫星将于10月1日搭乘SpaceX猎鹰9号火箭发射升空，从而在低地球轨道上利用太阳能。正如谷歌所指出的，此次任务的目标是测量其TPU“应对太空飞行物理应力以及太空辐射和极端热环境的能力”。……
