Cerebras Systems
Cerebras Systems set out to transform the compute landscape by designing a computer system optimized for artificial intelligence work.
To achieve this goal, Cerebras solved a 70 year old problem in the processor industry, namely wafer scale integration, and delivered the world’s largest processor, the Wafer Scale Engine. The WSE is 2.6 trillion transistors. It is the size of a dinner plate while other processors are the size of postage stamps. The WSE is 56 times larger than the largest competitor, contains 100 times as many AI optimized compute cores, 1,000 times more high performance on chip memory and 10,0000 times more memory bandwidth. The WSE is the processor engine in Cerebras’ flagship CS-2 system.
Cerebras delivers pioneering AI compute performance to customers in North America, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Cerebras has customers in the enterprise, government, and high-performance computing (HPC) segments, including GSK, AstraZeneca, AbbVie, TotalEnergies, nference, Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, Leibniz Supercomputing Centre, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, Edinburgh Parallel Computing Centre (EPCC), National Energy Technology Laboratory, and Tokyo Electron Devices.
