Industry’s 1st 3D Wafer-on-Wafer device yields 40% performance boost with zero code changes.
was the first person to describe a machine that would exceed the capability of our brain in his paper,In honor of this pioneer, Graphcore has named it’s first planned Exa-scale AI system the “Good Computer”, a system that would exceed the human brain in terms of the number of parameters, or synapses. Other companies including NVIDIA and Cerebras have outlined their plans for brain-scale computing as well so this level of computation is already moving from fantasy to reality.
While the company didn’t disclose technology details, it did share that they expect this system to deliver over 10 Exa-Flops of AI floating-point compute capacity, with 4 petabytes of memory over 10 petabytes/second of memory bandwidth, and support for AI models of up to 500 trillion parameters. The system would cost about $120 million.
One could imagine, for example, that I/O could be added to the second wafer, or perhaps in the longer term logic could be added in a third wafer for amazing density and performance, if one can figure out how to cool it.
