CTOnews.com, October 12 (Xinhua)-- Intel and Google jointly designed a new custom infrastructure processing unit (IPU) chip E2000, code-named "Mount Evans", to reduce data center primary CPU load and handle data-intensive cloud workloads more efficiently and securely.

E2000 IPU will be used in Google's new C3 virtual machine (VM), which can be deployed in the public cloud. These virtual machines will use Intel's fourth-generation Intel Xeon scalable processors to run workloads, while high-speed packet processing will be handled by E2000 chips. In the process of packet processing, the algorithm is used to help the network identify delay critical data traffic and prioritize it over other packets. Delay refers to the time the data takes from the source to the terminal.

Nirav Mehta, Senior Director of Product Management, Google Cloud Infrastructure Solutions, said: "as the first in the public cloud, C3 virtual machines will run workloads on fourth-generation Intel Xeon scalable processors while they securely release programmable packet processing to IPU at 200Gb / s line rates."

CTOnews.com has learned that C3 virtual machines are now offering private previews to Google cloud customers. Some of these customers, such as Snap Inc, the parent company of Snapchat, say the performance of C3 virtual machines is 20% better than that of current C2 virtual machines. "this partnership between Intel and Google allows customers to use a more secure, flexible and performance infrastructure," said Nick McKeown, senior vice president of Intel Research and general manager of the Network and Edge Group. Mckeown also said Intel could also sell E2000 chips to other customers.

Nirav Mehta says cloud infrastructure is becoming more and more complex and automation can play a key role in effectively managing cloud platforms on a large scale. "customized chips like Titan, TPU and IPU pave the way for the not-so-distant future, where we will automate more than half of all infrastructure decisions and dynamically configure systems based on usage patterns." Google's Tensor Tensor processing Unit (TPU) is being used for real-time voice search, photo object recognition and cloud interactive language translation. Titan chips are used to protect sensitive data and ensure that each device boots from a trusted state.
