The fastest processor in the world – CS-1 and its impact in Craiova

CS-1 – the processor that surpasses all limits

Cerebras Systems and the U.S. Department of Energy have unveiled the CS-1, the fastest processor ever built. The system is 10,000 times faster than a graphics unit and 200 times more powerful than a supercomputer.

Unprecedented performance

• 400,000 processing cores
• reduces AI training time from months to minutes
• allows testing thousands of hypotheses in a very short time
• can simulate nuclear reactions or complex processes faster than they occur in reality

Supercomputers vs. the CS-1 processor

Until 2013, IBM Sequoia was considered the fastest supercomputer, with over 98,000 processors and a speed of 16,000 trillion calculations per second. CS-1 surpasses this performance, redefining the boundaries of high-performance computing.

What is a supercomputer?

A supercomputer is a category of systems with specialized architecture and resources to achieve massive computing power, being used in science, research, and security.

Future applications of the CS-1 processor

The Department of Energy intends to use CS-1 to:

• accurate weather forecast
• optimizing aircraft wing design
• research in the field of nuclear energy and artificial intelligence
