[実機研究] Tenstorrent Blackhole調達・FQuery適合試験 / Acquisition and adapter feasibility #52
Description
現在の依頼:実機・対応ホスト・研究用電力を提供してください(2026-10-19)
Tenstorrent Blackholeのメーカー公開仕様は判明済み。 未完なのは採用構成の選定、実機取得、研究用電力の確保、実測とFQuery統合です。公式仕様を2026-10-19に再確認しました。仕様不明へ戻さず、実機の貸与・寄贈・購入資金、対応ホスト、電力復旧・供給、給電・冷却・輸送・計測協力を募集します。
Manifest PR #51・#53・#54の文書統合と、実機検証完了は別です。Manifest #52を資源調達の統合窓口、FQuery #52を実装・測定の技術課題として保持します。
en-US: Vendor specifications are identified. We need physical Blackhole hardware, a suitable host, and research electricity. Model/host selection, acquisition, measurements and FQuery integration remain pending. Manifest #52 coordinates resource support; FQuery #52 tracks implementation and experiments. Documentation integration does not claim completed hardware validation.
Parent: #39 (Infinite Core Semantic VM target abstraction)
Related: #40 (independent FPGA/logic-gate adapter research), #44 (Core→IBD→OAE gate)
Background / provenance
2026-10-19 user-reported X Spaces brainstorming: an accelerator was recommended during a discussion attributed by the user to the CEO of 奥津電気. The product has now been identified through user-provided manufacturer source and screenshots as Tenstorrent Blackhole® PCIe AI accelerator, not “Tensorlate Blackhole.” The earlier spelling and source-unverified device identity in this Issue were an assistant transcription/research error; retain this correction for audit provenance. The reported private recommendation is not independently verified as a public endorsement.
Verified primary sources:
- Tenstorrent official 2025-04-03 launch: https://tenstorrent.com/newsroom/tenstorrent-launches-blackhole-developer-products-at-tenstorrent-dev-day
- Current hardware cards/catalog: https://tenstorrent.com/hardware/cards
- Official software organization: https://github.com/tenstorrent
Manufacturer-announced models: Blackhole p100 ($999 launch, no Ethernet), p150 ($1,399 launch, Ethernet), and TT-Quietbox ($11,999 launch). The current catalog lists p100a ($999, 28 GB GDDR6, 120 Tensix cores, 448 GB/s), p150a/p150b ($1,399, 32 GB GDDR6, 120 Tensix cores, 512 GB/s), PCIe 5.0 x16, up to 300W total board power, external 12V-2x6 power; p150 adds four QSFP-DD 800G ports. All figures are vendor specifications, not ZeroRoomLab benchmarks. The current catalogue and regional availability/prices may change.
Official software stacks listed: TT-Forge, TT-NN, TT-Metalium, TT-LLK. Runtime and model support must be checked against the exact SDK/firmware/board revision. An open-source stack does not imply automatic FQuery compatibility.
Goal
Determine whether a physical Tenstorrent Blackhole accelerator can be sourced, characterized, and used as a replaceable target adapter for FQuery Infinite Core, without adding NPU vendor assumptions to FAM Core. A negative result is an acceptable research outcome.
A. Identity, provenance, sourcing (BLOCKER)
- Identify manufacturer and product family from Tenstorrent primary sources; [ ] verify selected exact model/SKU/revision, SDK/API compatibility and host requirements
- Verify the stated referral independently before presenting it as public endorsement; do not publish unapproved private conversation or personal contact details
- Establish purchase, loan, sample or donated-hardware paths, lead time, price, return/loan/usage terms, shipping and import costs
- Record source links, revisions, license restrictions and reproducible acquisition receipt
- Device family identity resolved; retain
MODEL-SELECTION-UNRESOLVED / SDK-CONFORMANCE-UNTESTEDuntil exact hardware selection and testing
B. Edge integration qualification
- 公開物理仕様を確認済み:p100a / p150a / p150bはPCIe 5.0 x16、外部12V-2x6、最大300 W TBP。メーカー公称を未特定インターフェース扱いしない。
- 採用ホストのarchitecture/OS、driver/runtime/SDK/firmwareの組合せとoffline運用を実機で適合確認する
- Actual power including idle, cold start, peak/inrush, sustained workload and host/interface overhead; thermals/cooling, external supply, bus limits
- Operator support and execution viability under sneaker-grid 0.1.x conditions, with all research equipment currently shut down; do not replace power-baseload restoration with speculative accelerator purchase
- Precision, quantization, supported operations, memory model, tensor layouts, dynamic shapes, batching, streaming, model formats and maximum graph capacity
- Supported input/output and error reporting; lossless export/reimport and observability where available
C. Infinite Core target adapter (after identity verified)
Target contract to evaluate, not to assert implemented:
capability() / probe() / lower(semantic_ir) / compile_or_export()
load() / invoke() / observe() / receipt()
- Determine which semantic operations can be lowered to the device; declare unsupported operations and semantic loss explicitly
- Keep FAM/selector/World/Fold semantics inside canonical Core; target-specific tensor graph and drivers live behind adapter
- Emit structured Last Order for unavailable device, runtime disconnect, unacceptable lowering loss, missing provenance
- Persist device/firmware/SDK revisions, input fixture, output, timing, energy and errors as reproducible receipts
- Compare against CPU software reference using same fixed fixture and tolerated numeric differences
- Never convert NPU hardware success into OAE truth or World authority
D. Field PoC and decision
- Phase 0: manufacturer/product family and published hardware specifications identified from official sources
- Phase 0b: select the exact model and host/software configuration
- Phase 1: minimal reference adapter + mock/software backend (offline)
- Phase 2: acquired real hardware + measured power/cooling/driver tests
- Phase 3: deterministic/conformance fixtures, inverse/provenance inspection where possible
- Decide
DIRECT / CONVERSION-REQUIRED / EXPERIMENTAL / UNSUITABLE / UNRESOLVEDwith evidence
Funding / patron supply request
Possible non-exclusive support: sample/loaner device, qualified donor hardware, shipping, suitable host/bus, safe DC power, measurement assistance, vendor SDK access, and test time. Do not promise successful adoption, commercial return, exclusive control, or purchase before identification and budgeting. Link this issue from the existing supply/funding resource branches after verification.
Acceptance
Identity and provenance verified (or explicitly unresolved), interface/power/capability recorded, reference-vs-device test documented if obtained, adapter suitability concluded with limitations, evidence+rights preserved. Status: VENDOR-IDENTIFIED / MODEL-SELECTION-UNRESOLVED / HARDWARE-NOT-ACQUIRED / SDK-CONFORMANCE-UNTESTED / NO FQUERY COMPATIBILITY CLAIM.
2026-10-19 電力構成・稼働状態の訂正
現状は完成した自家発電型オフグリッド設備ではなく、スニーカーグリッド0.1.x。発電設備は財布ペインで差し押さえられた後で、電動バイク「縄文エンジェル」用LiFePO4をポリタンクのような容量単位で自転車運搬し、車両用電源から家庭向け電力を縮小して取り出す仕組みを急造した。プリウス/PHVの家庭向け給電は仕組みの比喩であり、その実車・市販V2H設備の導入を意味しない。
確保しているのは生存・通信・ロビー・NSFW動画配信用の縮小運転電力のみ。研究設備は全面停止中。タブレット/スマートフォン経由の文書・GitHub作業を、X99・GPU等の研究設備の再稼働と扱わない。既報の約980 Whは公称蓄電量であり、発電能力や一充電での一か月稼働を表さない。研究用電力の復旧と機材調達は別の資源ゲートとして残る。
