Accelerating Artificial Intelligence Compute Through Wafer Scale Integration

Cerebras is a computer systems company dedicated to accelerating artificial intelligence work. Our flag ship product is the CS-1. The fastest AI computer ever built. The CS-1 is based around our pioneering Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE). In AI compute, big chips process information more quickly reducing the time it takes do work. Reducing the time it takes to do work, allows more ideas to be tested and better models to be bound. The WSE is 56x larger than any chip ever built. It contains 3000x more high performance on chip memory, 10,000x more memory bandwidth and 33,000 more fabric bandwidth than the best available alternative, a graphics processing unit. As a result, the CS-1 trains models at previously-impossible speeds and scale. AI work that previously too months, can now be done in minutes. And work that previously took weeks can now be done in seconds. But the CS-1 and the WSE are just the first collection of innovations we envision. We believe we can, over the next 5 years, accelerate AI compute by another 50x. The work in this SIBR will aimed at examining modification to our technology for Air Force needs.
