The guide is for a technical person, especially those who might be a system admin in government, research, financial services, life sciences, oil and gas, or a similarly compute-intensive field.
Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster Brings Push-Button Ease and Linear Performance Scaling to Large Language Models
September 21, 2022 by
Cerebras Systems, a pioneer in accelerating artificial intelligence (AI) compute, unveiled the Cerebras Wafer-Scale Cluster, delivering near-perfect linear scaling across hundreds of millions of AI-optimized compute cores while avoiding the pain of the distributed compute. With a Wafer-Scale Cluster, users can distribute even the largest language models from a Jupyter notebook running on a laptop with just a few keystrokes. This replaces months of painstaking work with clusters of graphics processing units (GPU).

Two Key Considerations of a Composable Infrastructure Cluster
June 13, 2022 by
In this sponsored post, our friends over at Silicon Mechanics indicated that these days, they’re getting a lot of interest from clients about composable disaggregated infrastructure (CDI), including what the most critical elements are for CDI-based clusters. Successful deployments are more likely when clients understand why their design team focuses on certain areas more than others and how design decisions can impact end user experience, so this article outlines some key elements of CDI-based clusters.
Solving AI Cluster Design Challenges with a Building Block Approach
March 24, 2022 by
[SPONSORED POST] When considering a large complex system, such as an AI cluster, supercomputer, or compute cluster, you may think you only have two options—build from scratch from the ground up, or buy a pre-configured, supercomputer-in-a-box from a major technology vendor that everyone else is buying. But there is a third option that takes a best-of-both-worlds approach. This gives you “building blocks” expertly designed around network, storage, and compute configurations that are balanced, but also flexible enough to provide scalability for your specific project needs.
