Cerebras Unveils World's Largest AI Training Supercomputer With 54M Cores
VentureBeat, Friday, July 21,2023
Cerebras Systems, the AI accelerator pioneer, and UAE-based technology holding group G42, have unveiled the world's largest supercomputer for AI training, named Condor Galaxy.
The network of nine interconnected supercomputers promises to reduce AI model training time significantly, with a total capacity of 36 exaFLOPs, thanks to the first AI supercomputer on the network, Condor Galaxy 1 (CG-1), which has 4 exaFLOPs and 54 million cores, said Andrew Feldman, CEO of Cerebras, in an interview with VentureBeat.
Rather than make individual chips for its centralized processing units (CPUs), Cerebras takes entire silicon wafers and prints its cores on the wafers, which are the size of pizza. These wafers have the equivalent of hundreds of chips on a single wafer, with many cores on each wafer. And that's how they get to 54 million cores in a single supercomputer.
