Cerebras's Condor Galaxy AI Supercomputer Takes Flight Carrying 36 Exaflops
The Register, Thursday, July 20,2023
Nine-site system built for UAE's G42, but there'll be plenty to spare
AI biz Cerebras has unveiled its Condor Galaxy supercomputer, a distributed cluster that, when complete, will span nine sites capable of 36 exaFLOPS of combined FP16 performance.
The company revealed the first phase of the system Thursday, which was built for the United Arab Emirates' G42, a multinational conglomerate with an interest in AI research and development, using Cerebras's CS-2 accelerators to power the process.
Cerebras's accelerators aren't like the GPUs or AI accelerators that you'll find in most AI clusters today. They don't come as PCIe cards or SXM modules like Nvidia's H100.
