One Cerebras Wafer Beats An Exascale Super At Molecular Dynamics
The Next Platform, Wednesday, May 15th, 2024
We think that waferscale computing is an interesting and even an inevitable concept for certain kinds of compute and memory. But inevitably, the work you need to do goes beyond what a single wafer's worth of cores can deliver, and then you have the same old network issues.
But don't take that too far. Science and data analytics still need to get done, and there are places where these squared circles of cores and SRAM memory like the three generations of Wafer Scale Engine devices created by AI startup and sometime HPC player Cerebras Systems can whip a massive GPU accelerated machine.
