Cerebras Systems Thinks Forward on AI Chips as it Claims Performance Win
Cerebras Systems makes the largest chip in the world, but is already thinking about its upcoming AI chips as learning models continue to grow at breakneck speed. The company’s latest Wafer Scale Engine chip is indeed the size of a wafer, and is made using TSMC’s 7nm process. The next chip will pack in more cores to handle the fast-growing compute needs of AI, said Andrew Feldman, CEO of Cerebras Systems.
Tips to Win Grant Funding for High Performance Computing
HPC is a powerful tool for historically black collage and universities (HBCUs) and minority-serving institutions (MSIs) to provide many competitive advantages. Offering leading technology as a differentiator to support faculty members in their unique research projects helps to recruit and retain top tier talent. The research they conduct often requires the collection and processing of […]

5 HPC Optimization Techniques
For many organizations, decisions about whether to run HPC workloads in the cloud or in on-premises datacenters are less all-encompassing and more about leveraging both infrastructures strategically to optimize HPC workloads across hybrid environments. From multi-clouds to on-premises, dark, edge, and point of presence (PoP) datacenters, data comes from all directions and in all forms while HPC workloads run in every dimension of modern datacenter schemes. HPC has become multi-dimensional and must be managed as such.
This white paper explores several of these new strategies and tools for optimizing HPC workloads across all dimensions to achieve breakthrough results in Microsoft Azure.
