Cerebras Unveils 4 Exaflops Condor Galaxy 1 AI Supercomputer: Over 70,000 AMD EPYC Cores, 54 Million AI Cores

wccftech.com:

Cerberas & G42 have unveiled the 4 Exaflops Condor Galaxy 1 AI supercomputer with thousands of AMD EPYC PUs & millions of AI cores.

Cerebras Systems, one of the industry-leading companies in AI, and G42, a technology holding group, have unveiled a new standard in interconnected supercomputers. The companies will develop nine different supercomputers, with the highlight being the CG-1 (Condor Galaxy 1), which is expected to feature the world's first 4 exaFLOPs computing power.

You may have heard about the above companies for the first time, but both have been involved in technological development for a long time. Cerebras Systems is known for its efforts in the generative AI industry, primarily through its CS-2 Wafer Scale Engine, which has achieved an astonishing milestone of 2.6 trillion transistors. The chip is said to be the largest ever built and is quoted as a "single CS-2 system, akin to a supercomputer all on its own".

However, Cerebras, in partnership with G42 has gone one step ahead through their new supercomputers. The companies have provided details on CG-1, which is expected to set a new benchmark in the industry. According to the blog post, it is said that CG-1 is linked with 64 Cerebras CS-2 systems, incorporating them into a single supercomputer with a combined power of 4 exaFLOPs.

Well, if you want to know about the immense potential of the CG-1, the current active supercomputer, the AMD-powered Frontier, is reportedly equipped with 1.1 exaFLOPs. The CG-1 holds almost a four times increase, an enormous number in the supercomputer industry. Here is what Cerebras's CEO, Andrew Feldman has to say about the development:

Delivering 4 exaFLOPs of AI compute at FP 16, CG-1 dramatically reduces AI training timelines
