谷歌認為SpaceX的星際飛船必須發射1600次才能實現太空數據中心
谷歌的太空數據中心計劃依賴於spacex的星際飛船發射1600次,以實現可擴展的軌道計算,影響未來的ai工作負載。
google launched a prototype orbital compute satellite with a tpu on a spacex rocket to test its functionality in space. the satellite will run models in 15-minute bursts to avoid straining power and thermal systems. google's project suncatcher aims to develop large-scale compute clusters in orbit, with a network of 81 satellites processing in parallel. however, the company estimates that spacex's starship needs to launch 1,600 times before space data centers become cost-effective, requiring significant advancements in launch technology. this affects google's plan for future ai workloads in space.
