Cerebras Proposes AI Megacluster with Billions of AI Compute Cores

September 14, 2022

Chipmaker Cerebras is patching its chips – already considered the world's largest – to create what could be the largest-ever computing cluster for AI computing. A reasonably sized "wafer-scale cluster," as Cerebras calls it, can network together 16 CS-2s into a cluster to create a computing system with 13.6 million cores for natural... Read more…

Computer History Museum Honors Cerebras Systems – Watch a Replay of the Event

August 3, 2022

When Cerebras Systems had its coming out at Hot Chips in August 2019, the hardware community wasn't sure what to think. Attendees were understandably skeptical of the novel "wafer-scale" technology, not to mention an estimated power envelope of ~15 kilowatts for the chip alone. In the intervening three years, the company... Read more…

LRZ Adds Mega AI System as It Stacks up on Future Computing Systems

May 25, 2022

The battle among high-performance computing hubs to stack up on cutting-edge computers for quicker time to science is getting steamy as new chip technologies become mainstream. A European supercomputing hub near Munich, called the Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, is deploying Cerebras Systems' CS-2 AI system as part of an internal initiative called Future Computing to assess alternative computing...

UCLA Researchers Report Largest Chiplet Design and Early Prototyping

October 12, 2021

What’s the best path forward for large-scale chip/system integration? Good question. Cerebras has set a high bar with its wafer scale engine 2 (WSE-2); it has 2.6 trillion transistors, including 850,000 cores, and was fabricated using TSMC’s 7nm process on a roughly 8” x 8” silicon footprint.

How Direct Liquid Cooling Improves Data Center Energy Efficiency

Data centers are experiencing increasing power consumption, space constraints and cooling demands due to the unprecedented computing power required by today’s chips and servers. HVAC cooling systems consume approximately 40% of a data center’s electricity. These systems traditionally use air conditioning, air handling and fans to cool the data center facility and IT equipment, ultimately resulting in high energy consumption and high carbon emissions. Data centers are moving to direct liquid cooled (DLC) systems to improve cooling efficiency thus lowering their PUE, operating expenses (OPEX) and carbon footprint.

This paper describes how CoolIT Systems (CoolIT) meets the need for improved energy efficiency in data centers and includes case studies that show how CoolIT’s DLC solutions improve energy efficiency, increase rack density, lower OPEX, and enable sustainability programs. CoolIT is the global market and innovation leader in scalable DLC solutions for the world’s most demanding computing environments. CoolIT’s end-to-end solutions meet the rising demand in cooling and the rising demand for energy efficiency.

Transforming Industrial and Automotive Manufacturing

Divergent Technologies developed a digital production system that can revolutionize automotive and industrial scale manufacturing. Divergent uses new manufacturing solutions and their Divergent Adaptive Production System (DAPS™) software to make vehicle manufacturing more efficient, less costly and decrease manufacturing waste by replacing existing design and production processes.

Divergent initially used on-premises workstations to run HPC simulations but faced challenges because their workstations could not achieve fast enough simulation times. Divergent also needed to free staff from managing the HPC system, CAE integration and IT update tasks.
